CSV Parser

Overview

This project is a Golang-based API that parses CSV files and returns the data in JSON format. The API accepts CSV files with a header row, and it assumes that the first row contains the column names. The API uses the encoding/csv package in Golang to read the CSV file, and it returns the data as slice of structs in formatted way.

Installation

To use the API, you will need to have Golang installed on your computer. You can download and install Golang from the official website: https://golang.org/dl/

Once you have Golang installed, you can clone the repository and run the following command to install the required packages:

go get github.com/gorilla/mux

Usage

To use the API, run the following command:

go run main.go

This will start the server on port 8888. You can then make a POST request to the API with a CSV file in the request body. The API will parse the CSV file and return the data in formatted way.

API Endpoints The API has one endpoint:

POST /upload This endpoint accepts a CSV file in the request body and returns the data in slice of structs
