json2csv-tk

Convert json (array of objects) or json lines (like MongoHub export, every line is a valid json object) to csv.

Works-on-my-pc, no tests :).

TODO:

• write examples
• flatten objects ( { a: { b: c: 1 }} -> "a.b.c" : 1)
• add options to sort keys, maybe exclude/include filter?
• add option to process multiple files and turn them into <inputfile.replace(/\.csv$/i, '.csv')>

See Testing and Formatting json2csv above.

But I want streams!

Check out my other module json2csv-stream. It transforms an incoming stream containing json data into an outgoing csv stream.
