CSV-To-JSON-Converter

A little script to convert CSV Files to JSON in easy and flexible way using GoLang.

The Reason for this tool is i was in charge to convert a couple of csv files to JSON and i didn't find simple thing give me exactly what i expect from such a tool, and i looked for golang examples but i found most of it using struct for single case, so i built this to be flexible enough for any file.

How to use this tool:

• After Downloading the go file you can run go run main.go -path=C:\\TheFile.csv or go run main.go -path C:\\TheFile.csv or after getting the executable file myfile.exe -path=C:\\TheFile.csv
• you will have a new file in the same root as the csv one but with JSON extension.

Example:

If i have a csv file contains a people data people.csv:

Id,Name,Age
1,Ahmad,21
2,Ali,50

and we need to convert it to json file:

go run main.go -path=C:\Users\User\Desktop\data\src\people.csv

after writing this command you will get another file in the same directory called people.json with the data in the new format:

[
  {
    "Id": 1,
    "Name": "Ahmad",
    "Age": 21
  },
  {
    "Id": 2,
    "Name": "Ali",
    "Age": 50
  }
]

and that's it.
