positional arguments:
FILE The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept input on STDIN.
optional arguments:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-d DELIMITER, --delimiter DELIMITER
Delimiting character of the input CSV file.
-t, --tabs

-q QUOTECHAR, --quotechar QUOTECHAR
Character used to quote strings in the input CSV file.
-u {0,1,2,3}, --quoting {0,1,2,3}
Quoting style used in the input CSV file. 0 = Quote Minimal, 1 = Quote All, 2 = Quote Non-numeric,
3 = Quote None.
-b, --no-doublequote
Whether or not double quotes are doubled in the input CSV file.
-p ESCAPECHAR, --escapechar ESCAPECHAR
Character used to escape the delimiter if --quoting 3 ("Quote None") is specified and to escape
the QUOTECHAR if --no-doublequote is specified.
-z FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT, --maxfieldsize FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT
Maximum length of a single field in the input CSV file.
-e ENCODING, --encoding ENCODING
Specify the encoding of the input CSV file.
-L LOCALE, --locale LOCALE
Specify the locale (en_US) of any formatted numbers.
-S, --skipinitialspace
Ignore whitespace immediately following the delimiter.
--blanks
Do not convert "", "na", "n/a", "none", "null", "." to NULL.
--date-format DATE_FORMAT
Specify a strptime date format string like "%m/%d/%Y".
--datetime-format DATETIME_FORMAT
Specify a strptime datetime format string like "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p".
-H, --no-header-row
Specify that the input CSV file has no header row. Will create default headers (a,b,c,...).
-K SKIP_LINES, --skip-lines SKIP_LINES
Specify the number of initial lines to skip (e.g. comments, copyright notices, empty rows).
-v, --verbose
Print detailed tracebacks when errors occur.
-l, --linenumbers

-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-i INDENT, --indent INDENT
Indent the output JSON this many spaces. Disabled by default.
-k KEY, --key KEY

--crs CRS
A coordinate reference system string to be included with GeoJSON output. Only valid if --lat and
--lon are also specified.
--stream
