Supported file formats

data-loader supports JSON and CSV for both import/export commands.
When import, it determines the format automatically by the extension of the file (specified by --file-path option).
When export, you can specify the format by specifying --format option.

The detailed formats of JSON / CSV files are as follows:

JSON format

The format of JSON file is the same as Get/Add/Update records REST API.

[
  {
    "FieldCode1": {
      "type": "SINGLE_LINE_TEXT",
      "value": "foo"
    },
    "Created_by": {
      "type": "CREATOR",
      "value": {
        "code": "Administrator",
        "name": "Administrator"
      }
    },
    ...
  },
  {
    ...
  },
  ...
]

CSV format

The first row (header row) lists the field codes of each field.
Each subsequent row corresponds to a record. Each value represents the value of the field.

"Record_number","FieldCode1","FieldCode2"
"1","foo","bar"
"2","baz","qux"

Here are considerations for some field types:

Text area

If the value contains line break, enclose the value in double quotes.

"TextAreaField"
"multi
line
text"

Check box, Multi-choice

Specify multiple values divided by line break.

"CheckboxField"
"value1
value2"

Created by, Updated by

Specify the user's login name (equivalent to value.code in REST API).

"Created_by"
"John"
