CSV support?
Closed this issue · 3 comments
CSV is the format I end up more often than not when dealing with older systems. It would be welcome to have some well-thought out strategy for plotting and graphing CSV information, whether that's changes to jp, or documentation of other tools that neatly transform CSV to JSON in a format that's readily consumable by jp.
For the moment I'm looking at https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv2json as part of a pipeline.
Thank you for the suggestion!
I've added support for simple CSV files (no handling of headers; each cell is parsed as a float, and if that fails, it remains a string) in 1.1.2. There's now also a simple example in the README.
Of course, there is a lot more that can be done (e.g. headers, column types, format options). I'd like to focus on JSON as the primary input format, so I would defer these more involved operations to CSV-focused tools.
