Steps to CSV to JSON Converter using Python
- Set the environment to use Aspose.Cells for Python via .NET for converting CSV to JSON
- Load the license to remove the watermark from the output
- Load the source CSV file into the Workbook class object
- Create the JsonSaveOptions object to customize the conversion process
- Set different properties and flags in the JsonSaveOptions for the customization
- Define the cell area of the CSV file that you want to export to the JSON file
- Save the resultant workbook as JSON using the given custom settings
These steps summarize the conversion of a file from CSV to JSON using Python. Load the license, load the source CSV file into the Workbook class object, create the JsonSaveOptions object, and save the workbook as JSON using the default settings in the JsonSaveOptions object. You can customize the conversion by setting the flag to export numbers as strings, the flag to export empty cells from the CSV, and defining the CellArea for filtering data from the CSV by specifying the start/end rows and columns.
