JSON to CSV and CSV to JSON Without Data Loss
Converting between JSON and CSV is easy for flat examples and surprisingly difficult for real datasets. Nested objects, arrays, quotes, commas, and line breaks all require explicit rules. Without a clear conversion contract, round-trips can lose type fidelity and field intent.
For JSON to CSV, define which fields are exported, how nested values are flattened, and how null/undefined values are represented. For CSV to JSON, ensure headers are clean, detect delimiters reliably, and validate row lengths to avoid shifted columns.
Type normalization is a common source of subtle bugs. Numeric IDs may be parsed as numbers when they should remain strings, and timestamp fields may lose timezone context. Preserve original values where correctness matters more than convenience.
Build small golden datasets for regression checks. If conversion output is stable across those fixtures, production pipelines become much less fragile.
