cat raw.json |jsoncsv |mkexcel > output.csv
cat raw.json |jsoncsv |mkexcel -t xls > output.xls

.. code-block:: bash

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)

.. code-block:: bash

mkexcel expand.json output.csv

jsoncsv
>>>>>>>>

use jsoncsv to expand json files to 1 layer json

like this：

.. code-block:: bash

echo '{"s":[1,2,{"w":1}]}'|jsoncsv
{"s.2.w": 1,"s.0": 1,"s.1": 2}


-e, --expand
-------------

expand json, 展开 json

.. code-block:: bash

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

.. code-block:: bash

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

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']

.. code-block:: bash

mkexcel expand.json -o output.csv
cat expand.json|mkexcel > output.csv
cat expand.json|mkexcel -t xls > output.xls

.. code-block:: bash

cat expand.json|mkexcel -t csv > output.csv
cat expand.json|mkexcel -t xls > output.xls


NOTE/TODO

1. dict keys can't be just array indexes
-----------------------------------

example:

.. code-block:: bash

echo '{"0":1,"1":[1,2]}'|jsoncsv -e| jsoncsv -r
[1, [1, 2]]
