Summary

Takes an array of objects (a tabular dataset) and converts it into a CSV file.

For example, given the following dataset:

JSON

[
  {
    "Make": "Toyota",
    "Model": "Camry",
    "Year": 2020,
    "Price": 24000
  },
  {
    "Make": "Honda",
    "Model": "Civic",
    "Year": 2019,
    "Price": 22000
  },
  {
    "Make": "Ford",
    "Model": "Mustang",
    "Year": 2021,
    "Price": 27000
  }
]

The following CSV dataset will be generated:

TEXT

"Make","Model","Year","Price"
"Toyota","Camry","2020","24000"
"Honda","Civic","2019","22000"
"Ford","Mustang","2021","27000"
