This article describes how to convert a CSV file to JSON using Java. It has details to set the IDE, a list of steps, and a sample code for developing a CSV to JSON converter using Java. Different options are discussed to customize the conversion process by setting various parameters.

Steps to Export CSV to JSON using Java

1. Set the development environment to use Aspose.Cells for Java to convert CSV to JSON
2. Load the source CSV file into the Workbook class object
3. Create an object of the JsonSaveOptions class for customizing the conversion
4. Set the flag to export number values as a string
5. Set the flag to export empty cells to the JSON file
6. Set the source area in CSV to export by setting start/end rows and columns
7. Save the resultant Workbook as a JSON file with the above options

These steps summarize the process to develop a CSV to JSON formatter using Java. Load the source CSV file into a Workbook object, create a JsonSaveOptions object, and save the loaded Workbook as JSON using the default settings in the JsonSaveOptions class. For customization, you may set export configuration and define an area to retrieve data from the source CSV file.

Code to Convert CSV File to JSON using Java

The aforementioned sample code demonstrates the conversion of the file from CSV to JSON format using Java. The JsonSaveOptions supports the nested structure conversion that helps in exporting parent/child data structures. You can add default indentations in the output JSON file for better readability without using specialized tools for loading the JSON files.
