Package Exports

convert-csv-to-json

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (convert-csv-to-json) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

CSVtoJSON

Convert csv file to JSON file with Node.js.

This project is not dependent on others packages or libraries.

The cvs file must be semicolon (;) separated.

Give an input file like:

first_name	last_name	email	gender	age
Constantin	Langsdon	clangsdon0@hc360.com	Male	96
Norah	Raison	nraison1@wired.com	Female	32

e.g. :

first_name;last_name;email;gender;age
Constantin;Langsdon;clangsdon0@hc360.com;Male;96
Norah;Raison;nraison1@wired.com;Female;32

will generate:

[
 {
  "first_name": "Constantin",
  "last_name": "Langsdon",
  "email": "clangsdon0@hc360.com",
  "gender": "Male",
  "age": "96"
 },
 {
  "first_name": "Norah",
  "last_name": "Raison",
  "email": "nraison1@wired.com",
  "gender": "Female",
  "age": "32"
 }
]

Prerequisites

NPM (see Installing Npm).

npm

Go to NPM package convert-csv-to-json.

Install

Install package in your package.json

$ npm install convert-csv-to-json --save

Install package on your machine

$ npm install -g convert-csv-to-json

Usage

Generate JSON file

let csvToJson = require('convert-csv-to-json');

let fileInputName = 'myInputFile.csv'; 
let fileOutputName = 'myOutputFile.json';

csvToJson.generateJsonFileFromCsv(fileInputName,fileOutputName);

Generate Array of Object in JSON format

let csvToJson = require('convert-csv-to-json');

let json = csvToJson.getJsonFromCsv("myInputFile.csv");
for(let i=0; i<json.length;i++){
    console.log(json[i]);
}

Format property value by type

If you want that a number will be printed as a Number type and not as a String type, use:

 csvToJson.formatValueByType().getJsonFromCsv(fileInputName)

In this case the result will be:

[
 {
  "first_name": "Constantin",
  "last_name": "Langsdon",
  "email": "clangsdon0@hc360.com",
  "gender": "Male",
  "age": 96
 },
 {
  "first_name": "Norah",
  "last_name": "Raison",
  "email": "nraison1@wired.com",
  "gender": "Female",
  "age": 32
 }
]

The property age is printed as

 "age": 32

instead of

  "age": "32"
