JsonCsvConverter.jl

Utility library for converting JSON to CSV, and vice versa.

Features

This module can convert JSON files to CSV, and vice versa. When converting from JSON to CSV, nestings are written as json-encoded strings in the output CSV. In order to get back to the original JSON file from a CSV, therefore, you should pass parse_nested_json=true to the convert function. See Usage.

Usage

Convert CSV to JSON:

c = JsonCsvConverter.Converter()
c.convert("in.csv", "out.json")

Convert JSON to CSV:

using JsonCsvConverter
c = JsonCsvConverter.Converter()
c.convert("in.json", "out.csv")

Options

• When parsing a CSV that contains JSON-encoded fields, you can pass parse_nested_json=true to decode these fields:
