What is CSV?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line of the file is a data record, and each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas.

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of JavaScript language and is language-independent.

Common Use Cases

Converting CSV to JSON is useful for:

• Importing spreadsheet data into web applications
• Transforming data for use with JavaScript frameworks
• Preparing data for REST APIs
• Converting legacy data formats for modern applications
• Data migration between different systems

CSV Format Tips

For best results with CSV conversion:

• Use commas as separators (the default)
• Include a header row with column names
• Enclose values containing commas in double quotes
• Ensure consistent data types across rows
• Avoid special characters in header names
