CSV to JSON Converter

Description

This Node.js module provides a function to convert CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. The function reads the CSV file, parses its contents, and returns a JSON array representing the data.

Installation

To use this module, install it via npm:

npm i json-from-csv

Example

const { csvToJson } = require('json-from-csv');

// Path to your CSV file
const csvFilePath = 'sample_2.csv';

// If you want to use a separator other than ",", you can specify it here like this: const separator = ";" etc
const separator = ";"

// Call the csvToJson function with the path to your CSV file and optional separator
csvToJson(csvFilePath)
  .then(jsonData => {
    // Do whatever you want with the JSON data here
    console.log("Converted JSON data:",jsonData);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // Handle any errors that occur during conversion
    console.error("An error occurred:", error);
  });

Code Format

When calling the csvToJson function, provide the file path as the first parameter. If no separator is specified as the second parameter, it will default to a comma (,).

Note

The CSV file must have a '.csv' extension.
Empty rows in the CSV file are skipped during conversion.
Leading and trailing spaces in header names and data values are trimmed.
