Upload a CSV file to convert it into a dictionary format.
How It Works
The CSV to Dictionary Converter works like magic, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. Here’s the formula behind the scenes:
- Read the CSV File: The tool takes your uploaded CSV file and reads its contents line by line.
- Identify Headers: The first row of the file is treated as the dictionary keys (e.g., "Name," "Age," "Email").
- Map Data to Keys: Each subsequent row is transformed into a dictionary, where the values are paired with their corresponding headers.
- Output the Result: The final dictionary is displayed in a clean, readable JSON format, ready for you to copy and use.
Example Conversion
Here’s what happens when you upload a simple CSV file:
| CSV Input | Dictionary Output |
|---|---|
| Name, Age, Email | [ |
| John Doe, 30, [email protected] | {"Name": "John Doe", "Age": "30", "Email": "[email protected]"}, |
| Jane Smith, 25, [email protected] | {"Name": "Jane Smith", "Age": "25", "Email": "[email protected]"} |
| ] |
