This short tutorial guides on how to convert TXT to JSON using Node.js. It has the details to set the IDE for running the sample code, a list of steps for application development, and a ready-to-run sample code for converting text file to JSON using Node.js. Different options will be discussed to customize the output JSON converted from the text file.
Steps to Convert Text File to JSON using Node.js
- Set the environment to use Aspose.Cells for Node.js via Java for converting TXT to JSON
- Load the input TXT file in the Workbook object to be transformed into JSON
- Create an object of the JsonSaveOptions class to customize the output JSON file
- Call the save() method providing the JSON file name and JSON save options
These steps present the process of transforming file type from TXT to JSON using Node.js. Initially, the source TXT file is loaded into the Workbook class object followed by the creation of a JsonSaveOptions class object to customize the conversion process. Finally, the save() method in the Workbook class is called which can convert the TXT file to a JSON file using the custom settings in the JsonSaveOptions object.
Code to Convert a Text File to JSON using Node.js
This code has demonstrated the development of a TXT to JSON converter using Node.js. The JsonSaveOptions class contains properties and methods to set the warning call back, flag to set the validation of merged areas, sort the names, skip empty rows, set sheet indexes, and flag for the header row. You may try this code by using tab-delimited text where each record is present in a new line.
