Effortlessly Convert CSV to JSON with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your data workflows by automating the conversion of CSV files into JSON format. This n8n workflow provides a simple yet powerful solution for transforming your spreadsheet data into a developer-friendly JSON structure, ready for further processing or integration.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the critical task of converting tabular data from CSV files into the widely used JSON format. It begins with a manual trigger, allowing you to initiate the process on demand. The workflow then reads a specified CSV file, processes it to extract the data, converts it into a JSON structure, and finally saves the output as a new JSON file. This is an essential tool for anyone needing to bridge the gap between spreadsheet-based data and applications or services that prefer JSON input, significantly reducing manual effort and potential errors.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Initiate the conversion process with a single click.
- CSV to JSON Conversion: Seamlessly transform data from CSV files into JSON format.
- File Path Configuration: Easily specify the input CSV file location.
- JSON Output: Generate a new file containing your data in JSON structure.
- Customizable Output Filename: Define the name for your generated JSON file.
How To Use
- Trigger the Workflow: Click the 'Execute' button on the manual trigger node to start the process.
- Specify Input CSV: In the 'Read Binary File' node, update the
filePathparameter to point to your CSV file (e.g.,/username/your_spreadsheet.csv). - Configure Spreadsheet Node: The 'Spreadsheet File1' node automatically handles CSV parsing. No specific configuration is usually needed here unless you have advanced CSV parsing requirements.
- Set Output Filename: In the 'Write Binary File' node, update the
fileNameparameter to define the name and location for your output JSON file (e.g.,/username/your_data.json). - Run and Verify: Execute the workflow again and check the specified output path for your newly created JSON file.
