DESCRIPTION
usage: csvjson [-h] [-d DELIMITER] [-t] [-q QUOTECHAR] [-u {0,1,2,3}] [-b] [-p ESCAPECHAR] [-z FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT] [-e ENCODING] [-L LOCALE] [-S] [--blanks] [--date-format DATE_FORMAT] [--datetime-format DATETIME_FORMAT] [-H] [-K SKIP_LINES] [-v] [-l] [--zero] [-V] [-i INDENT] [-k KEY] [--lat LAT] [--lon LON] [--type TYPE] [--geometry GEOMETRY] [--crs CRS] [--no-bbox] [--stream] [-y SNIFF_LIMIT] [-I] [FILE] Convert a CSV file into JSON (or GeoJSON). positional arguments: FILE The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept input as piped data via STDIN. options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -d DELIMITER, --delimiter DELIMITER Delimiting character of the input CSV file. -t, --tabs Specify that the input CSV file is delimited with tabs. Overrides "-d". -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 before the header row (e.g. comments, copyright notices, empty rows). -v, --verbose Print detailed tracebacks when errors occur. -l, --linenumbers Insert a column of line numbers at the front of the output. Useful when piping to grep or as a simple primary key. --zero When interpreting or displaying column numbers, use zero-based numbering instead of the default 1-based numbering. -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 Output JSON as an object keyed by a given column, KEY, rather than as an array. All column values must be unique. If --lat and --lon are specified, this column is used as the GeoJSON Feature ID. --lat LAT A column index or name containing a latitude. Output will be GeoJSON instead of JSON. Requires --lon. --lon LON A column index or name containing a longitude. Output will be GeoJSON instead of JSON. Requires --lat. --type TYPE A column index or name containing a GeoJSON type. Output will be GeoJSON instead of JSON. Requires --lat and --lon. --geometry GEOMETRY A column index or name containing a GeoJSON geometry. Output will be GeoJSON instead of JSON. Requires --lat and --lon. --crs CRS A coordinate reference system string to be included with GeoJSON output. Requires --lat and --lon. --no-bbox Disable the calculation of a bounding box. --stream Output JSON as a stream of newline-separated objects, rather than an as an array. -y SNIFF_LIMIT, --snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT Limit CSV dialect sniffing to the specified number of bytes. Specify "0" to disable sniffing entirely, or "-1" to sniff the entire file. -I, --no-inference Disable type inference (and --locale, --date-format, --datetime-format) when parsing CSV input.
