## Examples of NER/IOB data that can be converted with `spacy convert`

To convert an IOB file to `.spacy` ([`DocBin`](https://spacy.io/api/docbin))
for spaCy v3:

```bash
python -m spacy convert -c iob -s -n 10 -b en_core_web_sm file.iob .
```

See all the `spacy convert` options: https://spacy.io/api/cli#convert

The spaCy v2 JSON training files were generated using **spaCy v2** with:

```bash
python -m spacy convert -c iob -s -n 10 -b en file.iob
```

To convert an existing JSON training file to `.spacy` for spaCy v3, convert
with **spaCy v3**:

```
