npm install jsontocsvNode.js - jsontocsv
================
Convert lines of JSON data to CSV.
Why?
----
It's very convenient to write Node.js scripts that dump out a serialized object to a line. Most text processing utilities though cannot handle data like this. However, many can handle CSV files.
Installation
------------
npm install jsontocsv
Programmatically
------
``javascript
var jsontocsv = require('jsontocsv')
jsontocsv(inputStream, outputStream, {header: false, whitelist: whitelistFields, separator: ','}, function (err) {
if (!err) console.log('Success.')
});
`
The separator is ',' as default.
Command Line
------------
Usage: jsontocsv [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-b, --blacklist [fields] Prevent blacklisted fields from output, otherwise all will be used.
-w, --whitelist [fields] Only allow whitelisted fields in output, otherwise all will be used.
-i, --input [file] Input file. Otherwise STDIN.
-o, --output [file] Output file. Otherwise STDOUT.
-h, --header [true/false] If set to the true, the CSV header will be output. Defaults to true.
