Sometimes we may get dataset in csv format and need to be converted to json format.  We can achieve this conversion by multiple approaches. One of the approaches is detailed below. The following program helps you to convert csv file into multiline json file.  Based on your requirement, you can modify the field names and reuse this program.


import csv
import json
csv_file = open('data.csv', 'r')
json_file = open('data.json', 'w')
fieldnames = ("EmpID","FirstName","LastName","Salary")
reader = csv.DictReader( csv_file, fieldnames)
for row in reader:
json.dump(row, json_file)
json_file.write('\n')
