I use JSON to store my resume, and Latex to format it.

Here is a snippet:

```

\begin{luacode}

require("lualibs.lua")

local file = io.open('data.json')

local jsonstring = file:read('*a')

file.close()

local jsonData = utilities.json.tolua(jsonstring)

-- Header -- local personal = jsonData["personal"]

-- Education -- local education = jsonData["education"]

tex.print('\\section{Education}')

for key, value in pairs (education) do

  tex.print('\\cventry{' .. value["year"] .. '}{' .. value["degree"] .. '}{' .. value["school"] .. '}{' .. value["location"] .. '}{}{' .. value["specialty"] .. '}')

end

```
