	gulp.src('src/**/*.xlsx')
		.pipe(gulpXlsx.run({
			parseWorksheet: 'tree'
		}))
		.pipe(rename({extname: '.json'}))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

 {
  "Sheet1": [
    {

    }, ...
  ]
}

"tree"

{
	"Sheet1": {
		"value": "root",
		"children": [
			{
				"value": "1",
				"children": [
					{ "value": "1.1", "children": [] },
					{ "value": "1.2",
						"children": [
							{ "value": "1.2.1", "children": [] },

						]
					}

						]
					},
					{ "value": "2.2", "children": [] },
					{ "value": "2.3", "children": [] }
				]
			}

		}
	}
}

function(worksheet)
Every xlsx can be different. So if necessary, perform your own parsing of the worksheet object supplied by js-xlsx.

// From js-xlsx module
var xlsx = require('xlsx');

gulp.task('default', function () {
	gulp.src('src/**/*.xlsx')
		.pipe(gulpXlsx.run({
			parseWorksheet: function(worksheet){
				var array = xlsx.utils.sheet_to_row_object_array(worksheet);
				// Perform your own custom parsing here...  
				// if nothing is done here, it's same as 'row_array'
				return 	array;
			}
		}))
		.pipe(rename({extname: '.json'}))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
