Converting JSON to CSV is a common task when you need to import data into spreadsheets or data analysis tools. Here's how to do it effectively.
When to Convert JSON to CSV
Handling Flat JSON Arrays
The simplest case is a flat array of objects:
{"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "city": "NYC"},
{"name": "Bob", "age": 25, "city": "LA"}
}
This converts cleanly to:
name,age,city
Alice,30,NYC
Bob,25,LA
Handling Nested Objects
Nested objects need to be flattened. For example, {"address": {"city": "NYC"}} becomes address.city as the column header.
