excel-to-clean-json

Simple script to organize the object you get back from xlsjs. There are a lot of these, and I make no claim to have the best.

v0.0.3

Example

npm install excel-to-clean-json

var xlsToJSON = require("excel-to-clean-json");

var json = xlsToJSON.json("test/2012pres.xls", "2012 Pres General Results");
var rows = xlsToJSON.rows("test/2012pres.xls", "2012 Pres Primary Party Summary");

API

xlsToJSON.json(filename, worksheet_name) converts a specific worksheet to an array of Javascript objects, one for each row. It assumes the first row has head information and uses it as the keys. For example, from npm test:

[
	{
	    "1": 2,
	    "FEC ID": "P80003353",
	    "STATE": "Alabama",
	    "STATE ABBREVIATION": "AL",
	    "GENERAL ELECTION DATE": 41219,
	    "FIRST NAME": "Mitt",
	    "LAST NAME": "Romney",
	    "LAST NAME,  FIRST": "Romney, Mitt",
	    "PARTY": "R",
	    "GENERAL RESULTS": 1255925,
	    "GENERAL %": 0.6054582232982282,
	    "WINNER INDICATOR": "W"
	},
	{
	    "1": 3,
	    "FEC ID": "P80003338",
	    "STATE": "Alabama",
	    "STATE ABBREVIATION": "AL",
	    "GENERAL ELECTION DATE": 41219,
	    "FIRST NAME": "Barack",
	    "LAST NAME": "Obama",
	    "LAST NAME,  FIRST": "Obama, Barack",
	    "PARTY": "D",
	    "GENERAL RESULTS": 795696,
	    "GENERAL %": 0.3835903309875247
	}

xlsToJSON.rows(filename, worksheet_name) will convert a specific worksheet to an array of arrays. Use this when there is no header info.

[
	[
		"Summary of 2012 Presidential Primary Vote Totals by Party"
	],
	[
	    "Republican Party (R)",
	    19530335
	],
	[
		"Democratic Party (D)",
		8571580
	]

xlsToJSON(filename) will convert every worksheet using .json.
