`Read and write CSV files (JavaScript)`

Ready to see some code?

Here's an example of transforming a CSV file using JavaScript:

`javascript const { readCsv, writeCsv } = require("datakit");

function transform(record) { // Your function to transform a data record. }

async function main() { const data = await readCsv("./some/file.csv"); const transformed = data.map(transform); await writeCsv("./an/output/file.csv", transformed); }

main() .then(() => console.log("Done")) .catch(err => { console.error("Something went wrong."); console.error(err && err.stack || err); });`

`Read and write JSON files (TypeScript)`

Here's a similar code example using TypeScript.

This time we are reading and writing JSON files:

`typescript import { readJson, writeJson } from "datakit";

function transform(record: InputT): OutputT { // Your function to transform a data record. }

async function main(): Promise { const data = await readJson("./some/file.json"); const transformed = data.map(transform); await writeJson("./an/output/file.json", transformed); }

main() .then(() => console.log("Done")) .catch(err => { console.error("Something went wrong."); console.error(err && err.stack || err); });``

You can also read and write YAML files using similar functions.
