Wrap a line with square brackets and use JSON.parse() to convert to a JSON array. Parsing CSVJSON is done by processing one line at a time. Toggle the switch Output CSVJSON variant to output that format.ĬSVJSON format variant is not valid CSV however every value is valid JSON. More specifically, objects and arrays would not be wrapped in double quotes but output as is. The variant proposes that every CSV value be a valid JSON value. Dror Harari proposed a variant called CSVJSON ( ). Make sure to pick that option if you are going to import the CSV file in Excel.ĬSV values are plain text strings. In French, Excel will expect a semi-colons instead of a comma. You can then copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) it into Excel. TSV or Tab Separated Values is used to store table data in the Clipboard. Often used as an interchange data format to represent table records, one per line. Alternatively, you can flatten nested arrays of objects as requested by Rogerio Marques in GitHub issue #3. By default, nested arrays or objects will simply be stringified and copied as is in each cell.
JSON to CSV will convert an array of objects into a table. If you add that in to get a properly formatted response then you get this as example output.This function is available as a npm package.
(Get-Content -Path $Path -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json).results.rows | ForEach-Object ", which in turn causes ConvertFrom-Json to throw a hissy-fit. # If ByPath is the entry point, check that the specified file actually exists. The script itself (again, this is nothing fancy and I'm stopping at converting it to object notation as I fully expect you know how to then further convert it to CSV or whatever else you'd like to do with the object(s).) Here, I'm taking it from a file but it could just as easily come from any command that returns peoperly-formatted JSON, such as Invoke-Method. Use example 1: Providing the path to a properly-formatted JSON file. I simply named this Get-StudentsFromJson.ps1 so I could provide some use examples below but you can call it what you like. Here's a more complete, yet still basic script. Thanks for the pretty much in line with what I had above. "student_user_id" will always be populated with a "value" however not all "name" headers will have a "value". Some other details that might be relevant: "name is the column header. The "name" represents the headers and "value" represents the data, and each "columns" array should be a new row. Keep in mind that this is just one "columns" worth of data, and we can expect there to be ~1000 "columns" arrays. That file is then recalled to process the CSV export. To give you the entire workflow, we call for the API, the JSON output is saved to a JSON file. Each "columns" array is the data we need, and ALL the "columns" arrays are nested in a single "rows" array. We are trying to get data that is exported through an API converted to a CSV.
