  • How to convert a massive JSON into CSV
    2 projects | /r/data | 6 Nov 2022
    This tool was built for this purpose https://github.com/kindly/flatterer
  • Show HN: Flatterer Lite, A Rust WASM JSON to tabular converter, for nested data
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Oct 2022
    I have been working on this Rust based JSON flattener (https://github.com/kindly/flatterer) to XLSX/CSV/SQLITE/PARQUET/POSTGRES for about 2 years. I finally made a WASM based one for CSV/XLSX which is really easy to play with. You can use it via a url (if the data has CORS headers), for example https://lite.flatterer.dev?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdummyjson.com%2....

    The main difference with other converters/flatteners is that for one-to-many relationships (lists of objects in JSON) it produces a multi table output with keys to help join the tables together. Essentially produces a relational schema, along with some type information, of the JSON provided. For simple non-nested JSON it works too, but is a bit overkill.

    Its all opensource and free, and I think that it will become more and more useful as JSON/Graphql APIs proliferate.

  • Create table from JSON
    1 project | /r/dataengineering | 4 Aug 2022
    flatterer is the easiest option and will do this for you. It will also load the data into a sqlite or postgres database for you.
  • Robust Rust Library for Converting JSON Objects into CSV Rows
    2 projects | /r/rust | 30 Jul 2022
    I have also written something similar but higher level flatterer which is python but is a binding to libflatterer. Its main difference is when there is a list of objects it treats it a one to many and creates a separate CSV file.
  • Flatten a massive json file
    1 project | /r/dataengineering | 26 Jul 2022
    flatterer (github) is designed for this.
  • Simple GUI tool to query JSON or CSV databases [I have no coding skills]
    1 project | /r/dataengineering | 25 Jul 2022
    This looks great and using duckdb as a backend us a great choice. For JSON I suggest using flatterer https://flatterer.opendata.coop/ . Which will convert most JSON into CSV/Parquet with very little technical knowledge.
  • Rust for Data Engineering
    2 projects | /r/dataengineering | 22 Jun 2022
    My project flatterer (used for flattening JSON into tables) also is mainly a python cli/libarary but is written in Rust for speed/memory efficiency and better concurrency.
  • JSON Processing
    4 projects | /r/datascience | 17 Jun 2022
    I have been working on a similar tool for the last while called flatterer (github). It has a similar aim and works with most kinds of JSON well (but not very well with top level objects like yours).
  • Stream processing - Nested JSON to Parquet
    2 projects | /r/dataengineering | 30 May 2022
    You could try Option B with flatterer https://flatterer.opendata.coop/ which purpose is to convert nested JSON into other formats without a schema upfront including parquet.
