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.

Convert JSON to CSV:

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