CSV to Python Dictionary Converter
The CSV to Python Dictionary Converter is a powerful online tool designed to simplify the process of converting Comma Separated Values (CSV) data into Python dictionaries, making it easier for developers and data analysts to work with CSV data in Python. With its intuitive interface and robust functionality, this tool supports various formatting options, including pretty print and minified, to cater to different needs and preferences.
How it Works
The conversion process involves a simple yet efficient formula: it takes the CSV data as input, splits it into rows and columns based on the comma separator, and then constructs a Python dictionary by mapping each row to a unique key. This process can be represented as follows: CSV Data → Split Rows → Split Columns → Construct Dictionary.
| CSV Data | Python Dictionary |
|---|---|
| name,age John,25 Jane,30 |
{"John": {"name": "John", "age": "25"}, "Jane": {"name": "Jane", "age": "30"}} |
| id,name,age 1,John,25 2,Jane,30 |
{"1": {"id": "1", "name": "John", "age": "25"}, "2": {"id": "2", "name": "Jane", "age": "30"}} |
