imCSVtoJSON at Mac App Store analyse

Use this tool to output JSON data from CSV. 1. support big csv file content 2. support code syntax highlighting 3. auto format 4. convert fast Over 2 years ago, a close friend of mine encouraged me to get back into coding. In order to learn through application, he challenged me to create a simple program that would take a csv file and convert it to JSON (he helped me when I was stuck). To my (pleasant) surprise, I am finding a need for that program. A (soon to be official) consulting job I am working on had me create a large spreadsheet filled with publicly accessible data, and now I’m tasked with interacting with that data to help write a report. I’m not a master of using Excel to its fullest extent with things like pivot tables, but even if I was I’m pretty sure I would dislike working with Excel. I know it’s a very robust tool that has withstood the test of time, but it’s still cumbersome to use and definitely not the most enjoyable user experience. While I was working on the report and scrolling through the data, I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be nice if this was in JSON so I can import it into Mongo and build a basic querying app around it?” Then I realized I do have an app that can convert it into JSON! Unfortunately, my gripe with Excel was instantiated when I realized that Excel will have entries with various character encodings and display an alert that you have compatibility issues with the data, but it won’t let you convert everything into a standard encoding like UTF-8. The problem probably lies more with the creators of the data, but if Excel can recognize the error one would hope it can help fix it as well. Luckily, a quick Google search helped me find a solution, which was to have Google help with the encoding conversion by uploading it to Google Docs then downloading it again as a csv file. Now I have a csv file using the correct character encodings. I ran it through my program and I got the JSON file I wanted. The next steps are to import it into my local MongoDB and start building a basic app that will query the data. We’ll see how far I go in terms of data visualization. I have another app that takes priority because I need to get it done by the end of this month.
