Convert CSV to JSON key value

Question

I have a CSV file like this:

First Name*,Registrarse
Last Name*,Registrarse
Your Email*,Nombre*
Country*,Apellido*

I am looking for someway to convert this to JSON like this:

{
  "First Name*": "Registrarse",
  "Last Name*": "Registrarse"
   .....
}

I tried NPM tools like CSV to JSON and I could not get this effect. Does anyone know a way to do this?

Answer 1

You could turn the CSV file into an associative array and encode that as JSON:

$csv = <<<EOF
First Name*,Registrarse
Last Name*,Registrarse
Your Email*,Nombre*
Country*,Apellido*
EOF;

$csvArray = explode(PHP_EOL, $csv);

$jsonArray = array();
foreach ($csvArray as $row) {
    preg_match('/(.*?),(.*)/', $row, $matches);
    $jsonArray[$matches[1]] = $matches[2];
}

$json = json_encode($jsonArray, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
echo $json, PHP_EOL;

Output:

{
    "First Name*": "Registrarse",
    "Last Name*": "Registrarse",
    "Your Email*": "Nombre*",
    "Country*": "Apellido*"
}

Coming a bit late into this thread but in case it interests some other future user. I created a tiny in-browser app able to handle that.

Just go to csvtojson.com and paste your csv, it will be output to you as needed.
