Is it possible to convert wpa_supplicant.conf to NetworkManager?

I've been using straight wpa_supplicant configurations for a while but now would like to switch to NetworkManager. How can I get NetworkManager to use an existing wpa_supplicant.conf to generate the necessary configuration file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ ?

Only one network is configured on each device as either WPA1/2, no security or configured by WPS. So I could probably do some sort of brute force approach to generating the necessary NetworkManager configuration file.

I've done this in c code.

The SSID and PSK are stored in the conf file. You can parse them for the values and then call

nmcli dev wifi connect "SSID" password "PSK"
