Create structured JSON object from CSV file in JavaScript?

Answer 1

var csv = '"Timestamp","Enter First Name:","Enter Middle Initial","Enter Last Name:","Enter UIN:","Are you attending the event?"\n"2019/02/22 12:41:56 PM CST","Jonathan","Samson","Rowe","123456789","No"\n"2019/02/22 12:44:56 PM CST","phil","Aspilla","beltran","123456788","Yes"';

var csvJSON = function(csv) {
  let vals = csv.split('\n'), ret = [];
  for( let i = 1, len = vals.length; i < len; i++ ){
    let person = vals[i].split(',');
    ret.push({
      uin : person[4],
      studentInfo : {
        firstName : person[1],
        middleName : person[2],
        lastName : person[3],
        rsvpStatus : person[5]
      }
    });
  }
  return JSON.stringify(ret);
}

console.log(csvJSON(csv));

This is assuming the structure of the CSV is always the same.
