Command line or web-based json to CSV converter, plus json split/json resize tool

Complex JSON to CSV Converter

A simple JSON to CSV converter that handles objects and nested documents.

• In the web version, conversion happens inside the browser, in straight JavaScript. It may choke on large files.
• With complex-csv2json.js, it can be run via the command line. It uses jsonsplit.sh to deal with large files.

To install and run via the command line:

• npm install -g complex-json2csv
• type the name of the command and provide an input file
  • complex-json2csv inputfile.json - this will print the output to the screen.
  • complex-json2csv inputfile.json > outputfile.csv - this will print output to a csv file
• jsonsplit inputfile.json [records] - this will split the file into records based on the [records] size
  • If you do not specify size, it defaults to splitting by 100000

If not yet already done, also remember to install json via the command line:

• npm install -g json

(Web tool originally from https://github.com/konklone/json; command line tool complex-csv2json and jsonsplit by @DanaMLewis.)

Please file all bugs in the issue tracker.
