   3 ## Summary
   4
   5 Simple [node.js](https://nodejs.org/) program to simulate a set of charging stations based on the OCPP-J 1.6 protocol.
   6
   7 ## Configuration syntax
   8
   9 All configuration files are in the JSON standard format.
  10
  11 The program's global configuration parameters must be within the src/assets/config.json file. A configuration template file is available at [src/assets/config-template.json](src/assets/config-template.json).
  12
  13 All charging station templates are in the directory [src/assets/station-templates](src/assets/station-templates).
  14
  15 A list of RFID tags must be defined for the automatic transaction generator with the default location and name src/assets/authorization-tags.json. A template file is available at [src/assets/authorization-tags-template.json](src/assets/authorization-tags-template.json).
