+# NestedHash
+
+
+NestedHash is a Hash converter. It will created a simple, key encoded hash, in to a nested hash. For example, the hash:
+
+```ruby
+{ "name" => "guillermo", "properties.age" => 29, "properties.sex" => "male", "parents.1" => "ramon", "parents.2" => "gloria" } 
+```
+
+into the hash
+
+```ruby
+{ "name" => "guillermo", "properties" => {"age" => 29, "sex" => "male"}, "parents" => [ "ramon", "gloria" ] }
+```
+
+# Usage
+
+```ruby
+require 'nested_hash'
+
+my_normal_hash = { "name" => "guillermo", "properties.age" => 29, "properties.sex" => "male", "parents.1" => "ramon", "parents.2" => "gloria" } 
+
+my_new_hash = NestedHash.new(my_normal_hash)
+
+
+# Motivations
+
+The reason for creating this ruby gem is to convert Excel files to json files. With the rubygems roo you already can get the rows into a one level hash (colum title as a key). This complement help to create more difficult structures with the same excel file.
+
+# Todo
+
+* Add support for properties in arrays
