Json to csv

Simply transform a json to a csv

This tool helps you create a csv from a json. It creates csv's columns using json hierarchy and a separator delimiter. For instance if the delimiter is . and the json is like this:

{
    'team':{
        'captain':
        'defend':
        'str' :
    }
}

The csv column's will be

team_captain, team_defend, team_str

Up until now, ljson are handled. Jsons are handled if in the file indicated as input is in one of the following format:

• Json array with one element per line
• One json element in the first line
