CSV-to-JSON

Cvs2Json, a Python class to convert text or CSV (Comma Separated Values) to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format for Django model

Introduction

This is my first program. It is a class module to help you to convert text or CSV to JSON format for Django model which need three properties: “pk”, “model” and “fields”. See serialization formats from Djgno more information.

Instead of using strip() and split() functions as the tutorials from https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/convert-text-file-to-json-in-python/ and https://github.com/jcamier/csv-json-django/blob/master/convert_csv_to_json.py. I use Python's built-in csv library. It is more easier, convenient and powerful. It was born to to read and write tabular data in CSV format which was generated by Microsoft Excel.

I developed this program to support Thai language with utf8 encoding (UNICODE) so I hope it will support any language too.

How to use it?

1. Import module
2. Config some variables

• The CSV file to be converted
• The JSON output file
• App and Model name
• List of fields in your model

3. Crate object to use
see more detail in file test.py

Input & Output

I have more 2 files

• countries.csv, It's a source file to be converted to JSON format. You can use it for testing the program.
• countries.json, This file auto generate from class. It's my JSON output file. You can run my program to get the same output format
