Could be useful, but for that to happen some issues should be solved
It’s simple and practical, but to be fully useful, it should at least have the following issues solved:
- when there’s nothing defined in the imported CSV for the column, it should avoid adding the field in the resulting JSON instead of marking it as existing but with an zero-length string
- for the last column of the CSV, it seems to be appending a “r” to the field name and all its values, it shouldn’t be like that
- instead of respecting the order of the columns in the CSV file, it re-orders all the fields in the JSON with alphabetical order. Whereas it’s still valid, it’s quite disturbing
Additionally, not everything is supposed to be strings! Sometimes we want to add numbers or booleans in the JSON, but this tool marks everything as strings when importing from CSV.. There’s an option in the editor which allows to specify the type of each field, but unfortunately this has to be done row by row.. so, if you have thousands or rows, it becomes completely useless.
Without those issues solved, the usage of this app anyway requires to use an extra editor and proceed with a ton of Find&Replace, which makes the usage of this app take more time than not using it at all.
