It is a simple module to make easy conversions between two type of files: csv and json.
It has been created for a postgraduate assignment that had as objective to validate our knowledge about the use of basic structures of Python and the process of creating and publishing a Python module.
Usage and Examples
To use this module is necessary to install it and use the convert script of this module:
pip install alanfe-puc-ds-csv-converter
python3 -m alanfe-puc-ds-csv-converter convert
You will need to set some arguments of this script like output path (using -o or --ouput) and input path(using -i or --input). After that automatically it will parse all files in this path and will save them in the output path.
python3 -m alanfe-puc-ds-csv-converter convert -i /input/ -o /output/
# OR
python3 -m alanfe-puc-ds-csv-converter convert -i /input/teste.csv -o /output/
It will detect if the files are csv files or json files and will convert them to another format. In the case of csv files, they will be converted to json. In the case of json files, they will be converted to csv.
A good property of this module is the parallel processing. You can set --parallel or -p as true and the library's processing will happen in parallel
python3 -m alanfe-puc-ds-csv-converter convert -i /input/teste.csv -o /output/ --parallel true
