go-csv2json

This is a tool to transform a CSV file into a JSON one. It will parse all CSV rows from a file into a JSON array and output the result into a .json file. Each data cell will be parsed as a string datatype.

How to use it

$ ./csv2json [options] <csvFilePath>

Example:

$ ./csv2json data.csv

The command above will create a data.json file at exactly the same dir location of data.csv

Options Available

• pretty: if enabled, it will create a well-formatted JSON file instead of a compact one (one single line)
• separator: to indicate which character is used to separate cells. Only accepted options are comma (default) or semicolon.

Example using options:

$ ./csv2json --pretty --separator=semicolon data.csv

The command above will create a formatted data.json file at exactly the same dir location of data.csv The row columns from this file are separated using semicolons instead of commas.

Learning Go

I made this tool with the only intention to practice my recently acquired Golang skills. Feel free to use the source code as a way of learning more about how to use this programming language. Especially for creating CLI tools.
