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.
--null-value NULL_VALUES [NULL_VALUES ...]
Convert this value to NULL. --null-value can be specified multiple times.
--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.
