Usage

Installation command is npm install jsonexport.

Run tests with npm test.

var jsonexport = require('jsonexport');

jsonexport({lang: 'Node.js',module: 'jsonexport'}, {rowDelimiter: '|'}, function(err, csv){
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(csv);
});

CLI

Global installation command is npm install -g jsonexport.

Convert JSON to CSV using cat data.json | jsonexport or jsonexport data.json

Usage: jsonexport <JSON filename> <CSV filename>

Browser

Use the code in the folder named dist to run jsonexport in the browser

Browser Import Examples

Webpack

var jsonexport = require("jsonexport/dist")

Typescript

import * as jsonexport from "jsonexport/dist"

Stream

var jsonexport = require('jsonexport');
var fs = require('fs');

var reader = fs.createReadStream('data.json');
var writer = fs.createWriteStream('out.csv');

reader.pipe(jsonexport()).pipe(writer);

JSON Array Example

Simple Array

Code

var jsonexport = require('jsonexport');

var contacts = [{
    name: 'Bob',
    lastname: 'Smith'
},{
    name: 'James',
    lastname: 'David'
},{
    name: 'Robert',
    lastname: 'Miller'
},{
    name: 'David',
    lastname: 'Martin'
}];

jsonexport(contacts,function(err, csv){
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(csv);
});

Result

name,lastname
Bob,Smith
James,David
Robert,Miller
David,Martin

Complex Array

Code

var jsonexport = require('jsonexport');

var contacts = [{
   name: 'Bob',
   lastname: 'Smith',
   family: {
       name: 'Peter',
       type: 'Father'
   }
},{
   name: 'James',
   lastname: 'David',
   family:{
       name: 'Julie',
       type: 'Mother'
   }
},{
   name: 'Robert',
   lastname: 'Miller',
   family: null,
   location: [1231,3214,4214]
},{
   name: 'David',
   lastname: 'Martin',
   nickname: 'dmartin'
}];

jsonexport(contacts,function(err, csv){
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(csv);
});

Result

name,lastname,family.name,family.type,family,location,nickname
Bob,Smith,Peter,Father
James,David,Julie,Mother
Robert,Miller,,,,1231;3214;4214
David,Martin,,,,,dmartin

JSON Object Example

Simple Object

Code

var jsonexport = require('jsonexport');

var stats = {
    cars: 12,
    roads: 5,
    traffic: 'slow'
};

jsonexport(stats,function(err, csv){
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(csv);
});

Result

cars,12
roads,5
traffic,slow

Complex Object

Code

var jsonexport = require('jsonexport');

var stats = {
    cars: 12,
    roads: 5,
    traffic: 'slow',
    speed: {
        max: 123,
        avg: 20,
        min: 5
    },
    size: [10,20]
};

jsonexport(stats,function(err, csv){
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(csv);
});

Result

cars,12
roads,5
traffic,slow
speed.max,123
speed.avg,20
speed.min,5
size,10;20

Options

In order to get the most of out of this module, you can customize many parameters and functions.

• headerPathString - String Used to create the propriety path, defaults to . example contact: {name: 'example} = contact.name
• fillGaps - Boolean Set this option if don't want to have empty cells in case of an object with multiple nested items (array prop), defaults to false Issue #22
• headers - Array Used to set a custom header order, defaults to [] example ['lastname', 'name']
• rename - Array Used to set a custom header text, defaults to [] example ['Last Name', 'Name']
• mapHeaders - Function Post-process headers after they are calculated with delimiters, example mapHeaders: (header) => header.replace(/foo\./, '')
• rowDelimiter - String Change the file row delimiter
  • Defaults to , (cvs format).
  • Use \t for xls format.
  • Use ; for (windows excel .csv format).
• textDelimiter - String The character used to escape the text content if needed (default to ")
• forceTextDelimiter - Boolean Set this option to true to wrap every data item and header in the textDelimiter. Defaults to false
• endOfLine - String Replace the OS default EOL.
• mainPathItem - String Every header will have the mainPathItem as the base.
• arrayPathString - String This is used to output primitive arrays in a single column, defaults to ;
• booleanTrueString - String Will be used instead of true.
• booleanFalseString - String Will be used instead of false.
• includeHeaders - Boolean Set this option to false to hide the CSV headers.
• undefinedString - String If you want to display a custom value for undefined strings, use this option. Defaults to .
• verticalOutput - Boolean Set this option to false to create a horizontal output for JSON Objects, headers in the first row, values in the second.
• typeHandlers - {typeName:(value, index, parent)=>any A key map of constructors used to match by instance to create a value using the defined function (see example)

Deprecated Options (Use typeHandlers)

• handleString - Function Use this to customize all Strings in the CSV file.
• handleNumber - Function Use this to customize all Numbers in the CSV file.
• handleBoolean - Function Use this to customize all Booleans in the CSV file.
• handleDate - Function Use this to customize all Dates in the CSV file. (default to date.toLocaleString)

typeHandlers

Define types by constructors and what function to run when that type is matched

var jsonexport = require('jsonexport');

//data
var contacts = {
  'a' : Buffer.from('a2b', 'utf8'),
  'b' : Buffer.from('other field', 'utf8'),
  'x' : 22,
  'z' : function(){return 'bad ace'}
};

var options={
  //definitions to type cast
  typeHandlers:{
    Array:function(value,index,parent){
      return 'replaced-array';
    },
    Boolean:function(value,index,parent){
      return 'replaced-boolean';
    },
    Function:function(value,index,parent){
      return value()
    },
    Number:function(value,index,parent){
      return 'replaced-number';
    },
    String:function(value,index,parent){
      return 'replaced-string';
    },
    Buffer:function(value,index,parent){
      return value.toString()
    }
  }
}

jsonexport(contacts, options, function(err, csv){
  console.log( csv )
});

The output would be:

a,a2b
b,other field
x,replaced-number
z,bad ace

When using typeHandlers, Do NOT do this

var options={
  typeHandlers:{
    Object:function(value,index,parent){
      return 'EVERYTHING IS AN OBJECT';
    }
  }
}

It is NOT an error, however the recursive result becomes illegable functionality strings
