JSON to CSV Converter

This script converts a JSON file into a CSV file. The JSON file must be formatted as a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a row in the CSV file.

Prerequisites

• Python: Ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can verify this by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

  python --version

Usage

1. Prepare Your JSON File:

   • Ensure your JSON file is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary should represent a row in the CSV file, and the keys of the dictionaries will be used as the CSV headers.

2. Run the Script:

   • Use the command line to execute the script. The script requires two arguments: the path to the input JSON file and the path where you want to save the output CSV file.

   python converter.py <input_json_file> <output_csv_file>

   Replace <input_json_file> with the path to your JSON file and <output_csv_file> with the desired path for the CSV output.

3. Example:

   • If your JSON file is named data.json and you want to save the CSV as output.csv, you would run:

   python converter.py data.json output.csv

Error Handling

• If the JSON file does not contain a list of dictionaries, the script will raise a ValueError. Ensure your JSON data is correctly formatted to avoid this error.

By following these steps, you can successfully convert a JSON file to a CSV file using this script.
