Project description
jsoncsv && mkexcel is a command tool to convert json file to csv/xlsx file.
It’s simple, and no need user to specify the keys. :)
Quick Start :
cat the raw.json to csv/xls on command line
cat raw.json |jsoncsv |mkexcel > output.csv
cat raw.json |jsoncsv |mkexcel -t xls > output.xls
just expand/restore the json
jsoncsv raw.json expand.json
jsoncsv -r expand.json raw.json
cat raw.json|jsoncsv |jsoncsv -r > raw2.json
mkexcel the expanded json (one layer)
mkexcel expand.json output.csv
mkexcel -t xls expand.json > output.csv
safe mod
cat raw.json|jsoncsv --safe|mkexcel > output.csv
jsoncsv --help
mkexcel --help
jsoncsv
use jsoncsv to expand json files to 1 layer json
like this:
echo '{"s":[1,2,{"w":1}]}'|jsoncsv
{"s.2.w": 1,"s.0": 1,"s.1": 2}
-e, –expand
expand json, 展开 json
jsoncsv -e raw.json expand.json
cat raw.json expand.json
{"s":[1,2,{"w":1}]}
{"s.2.w": 1,"s.0": 1,"s.1": 2}
{“s”:[1,2,{“w”:1}]} transformed to {“s.2.w”: 1,”s.0”: 1,”s.1”: 2}
expand.json is only one layer json, it can be easy change to csv or xlsx
-r,–restore
restore the expanded json 重构被展开的json
jsoncsv -r expand.json raw.json
cat expand.json raw.json
{"s.2.w": 1,"s.0": 1,"s.1": 2}
{"s": [1, 2, {"w": 1}]}
{“s.2.w”: 1,”s.0”: 1,”s.1”: 2} change to {“s”:[1,2,{“w”:1}]}
-s,–separator
separator used for combine the keys in the tree
default separator is .
–safe
on safe mode, use escape separator to avoid confilct
expand:
[‘aa’, ‘bb’, ‘www.xxx.com’] –> ‘aa.bb.www.xxx.com’
restore:
‘aa.bb.www.xxx.com’ –> [‘aa’, ‘bb’, ‘www.xxx.com’]
mkexcel
dump expanded (by jsoncsv) json file to csv or xls file
mkexcel expand.json -o output.csv
cat expand.json|mkexcel > output.csv
cat expand.json|mkexcel -t xls > output.xls
-t,–type
chose dump type in [‘csv’, ‘xls’]
cat expand.json|mkexcel -t csv > output.csv
cat expand.json|mkexcel -t xls > output.xls
NOTE/TODO
1. key can’t be all intenger string
example:
echo '{"0":1,"1":[1,2]}'|jsoncsv -e| jsoncsv -r
[1, [1, 2]]
2. csv separator and clean mkexcel args
wait next version
