How to convert JSON to CSV format and store in a variable

Question

I have a link that opens up JSON data in the browser, but unfortunately I have no clue how to read it. Is there a way to convert this data using JavaScript in CSV format and

Answer 1

Try these Examples

Example 1:

JsonArray = [{
    "AccountNumber": "123",
    "AccountName": "abc",
    "port": "All",
    "source": "sg-a78c04f8"

}, {
    "Account Number": "123",
    "Account Name": "abc",
    "port": 22,
    "source": "0.0.0.0/0",
}]

JsonFields = ["Account Number","Account Name","port","source"]

function JsonToCSV(){
    var csvStr = JsonFields.join(",") + "\n";

    JsonArray.forEach(element => {
        AccountNumber = element.AccountNumber;
        AccountName   = element.AccountName;
        port          = element.port
        source        = element.source

        csvStr += AccountNumber + ',' + AccountName + ','  + port + ',' + source + "\n";
        })
        return csvStr;
}

Example2 :

JsonArray = [{
    "AccountNumber": "1234",
    "AccountName": "abc",
    "inbound": [{
        "port": "All",
        "source": "sg-a78c04f8"
    },
    {
        "port": 22,
        "source": "0.0.0.0/0",
    }]
}]

JsonFields = ["Account Number", "Account Name", "port", "source"]

function JsonToCSV() {
    var csvStr = JsonFields.join(",") + "\n";

    JsonArray.forEach(element => {
        AccountNumber = element.AccountNumber;
        AccountName = element.AccountName;
        
        element.inbound.forEach(inboundELe => {
            port = inboundELe.port
            source = inboundELe.source
            csvStr += AccountNumber + ',' + AccountName + ',' + port + ',' + source + "\n";
        })
    })
    return csvStr;
}

You can even download the csv file using the following code :

function downloadCSV(csvStr) {

    var hiddenElement = document.createElement('a');
    hiddenElement.href = 'data:text/csv;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURI(csvStr);
    hiddenElement.target = '_blank';
    hiddenElement.download = 'output.csv';
    hiddenElement.click();
}
