Objective
Mathesar UI allows users to import data from CSV and TSV files. We aim to expand this functionality into importing JSON and Excel files too. The project will allow users to import JSON and Excel files and create a table from the imported data. The user can preview the table, remove/rename columns, change data types, and more. If the imported file is not in a suitable format for creating a table, we will develop algorithms to convert the file into a suitable format. If the algorithm doesn’t work, the system will refuse to import the file and give the user a readable error.
