DSV-to-JSONL

Overview

A Maven project that converts DSV (Delimiter-separated values) files into JSONL (JSON line) format.

• Dates in JSONL output file is in YYYY-MM-dd format.
• The project can be built using Maven in a terminal, with "mvn package".
• Any DSV file with any arbitrary data is convertible with this tool. This means that the real structure of the data at runtime is dynamic.
• An executable JAR is created to allow user to run the conversion in a terminal.
• The user can specify the input file and any additional parameters if necessary via command-line arguments.

Overview

This project is a Maven-based utility for converting DSV files into JSONL format. DSV files, containing delimiter-separated values, are commonly used to represent tabular data. The tool ensures dynamic conversion of arbitrary DSV files with varying structures at runtime.

Features

• Dates in the JSONL output file are formatted in YYYY-MM-dd.
• The project can be built using Maven in a terminal, e.g., with mvn package.
• An executable JAR is created to allow users to run the conversion from the terminal.
• Users can specify the input file and any additional parameters via command-line arguments.
• Both reading input and writing output files are done in a streaming manner.
  • Does not store any data entries in memory at the same time (Expects millions of entries in a real use case).
  • Uses Java Stream API for stream processing.

Build and Run

To build the project, use the following Maven command in the terminal:

mvn clean build

To run the converter, use the generated JAR file:

java -jar "path/to/DSV-to-JSONL-convertor (2)-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" "path/to/input_file.txt" "path/to/output_file.jsonl"

Usage

• path/to/DSV-to-JSONL-convertor (2)-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar: The path to the executable JAR file.
• path/to/input_file.txt: The path to the input DSV file.
• path/to/output_file.jsonl: The path to the output JSONL file.

Notes

• Both reading input and writing output files are implemented in a streaming manner using the Java Stream API.
• Ensure the input DSV file adheres to the correct format.

Replace placeholders like 'path/to/DsvToJsonl-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar', 'path/to/input_file', and 'path/to/output_file.jsonl'
