CSV

CSV (Comma Separated Values) files are the most common format for storing tabular data. Values in a row are separated by commas and rows are separated by newlines.

CSQ files often start with a header row that has column names, but this is not required.

Each row in a CSV file must have the same number of values as the header row.

CSV files do no enforce types or a schema. This means that each column can have multiple types, which can make analysis difficult and compression inefficient.

Parquet files can be easier to analyze and compress better than CSV files.

JSON

Java Script Object Notation (JSON) is a format that was designed for use with the Javascript Programming Language.

JSON files do not have a schema or required columns. Each row can have different field names and types. This can

make JSON files difficult to analyze.

How to Convert CSV to JSON in Python

We can convert CSV to JSON in Python using Pandas or DuckDB

How to Convert CSV to JSON using Pandas

First, we need to install pandas

pip install pandas

Then we can load the CSV file into a dataframe

df = pd.read_csv('path/to/file.csv')

Finally, we can export the dataframe to the JSON format

df.to_json('path/to/file.json', index=False)

How to Convert CSV to JSON using DuckDB

First, we need to install duckdb for Python

 pip install duckdb

The following DuckDB query will read a CSV file and output a JSON file

duckdb.sql("""COPY (select * from 'path/to/file.csv') TO 'path/to/file.json' (FORMAT 'json')""")
