Parse

Usage: c2j parse <path-to-file> [options]

Parse a file

Arguments:
  path-to-file                path to the file to parse

Options:
  -o, --output <output-path>  path to output results to (default: "output.json")

Examples

# Parse csv file and save as `output.json`
c2j /path-to/my-file.csv

# Specify saved file destination
c2j /path-to/my-file.csv --output /path-to/my-file.json

In the above examples, your data will be output as an array of objects. Each object in the array contains one row from your input file.

--object [key]

The --object option wraps your data array in an object. When only the flag is passed, the key data is used:

# Wrap output in a object
c2j /path-to/my-file.csv --output /path-to/my-file.json --object
# Data output as: `{data: [...parsedRows]}`

When an optional key is included with the option, that key is used instead:

# Wrap output in a object with specified key
c2j /path-to/my-file.csv --output /path-to/my-file.json --object users
# Data output as: `{users: [...parsedRows]}`
