DESCRIPTION

9       Converts a CSV file into JSON or GeoJSON (depending on flags):
10
11          usage: csvjson [-h] [-d DELIMITER] [-t] [-q QUOTECHAR] [-u {0,1,2,3}] [-b]
12                         [-p ESCAPECHAR] [-z FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT] [-e ENCODING] [-L LOCALE]
13                         [-S] [--blanks] [--date-format DATE_FORMAT]
14                         [--datetime-format DATETIME_FORMAT] [-H] [-K SKIP_LINES] [-v]
15                         [-l] [--zero] [-V] [-i INDENT] [-k KEY] [--lat LAT] [--lon LON]
16                         [--crs CRS] [--stream] [-y SNIFF_LIMIT] [-I]
17                         [FILE]
18
19          Convert a CSV file into JSON (or GeoJSON).
20
21          positional arguments:
22            FILE                  The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept
23                                  input on STDIN.
24
25          optional arguments:
26            -h, --help            show this help message and exit
27            -i INDENT, --indent INDENT
28                                  Indent the output JSON this many spaces. Disabled by
29                                  default.
30            -k KEY, --key KEY     Output JSON as an array of objects keyed by a given
31                                  column, KEY, rather than as a list. All values in the
32                                  column must be unique. If --lat and --lon are also
33                                  specified, this column will be used as GeoJSON Feature
34                                  ID.
35            --lat LAT             A column index or name containing a latitude. Output
36                                  will be GeoJSON instead of JSON. Only valid if --lon
37                                  is also specified.
38            --lon LON             A column index or name containing a longitude. Output
39                                  will be GeoJSON instead of JSON. Only valid if --lat
40                                  is also specified.
41            --crs CRS             A coordinate reference system string to be included
42                                  with GeoJSON output. Only valid if --lat and --lon are
43                                  also specified.
44            --stream              Output JSON as a stream of newline-separated objects,
45                                  rather than an as an array.
46            -y SNIFF_LIMIT, --snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT
47                                  Limit CSV dialect sniffing to the specified number of
48                                  bytes. Specify "0" to disable sniffing entirely.
49            -I, --no-inference    Disable type inference (and --locale, --date-format,
50                                  --datetime-format) when parsing CSV input.
