const csvtojson = require('csvtojson') const fs = require('fs') const csvfilepath = "simple.csv" |
First of all we are importing all the libraries that we will need for this project. First one is the csvtojson,fs,and then we are providing a filename for the input csv file. This we have created in the same folder.The contents of the input.csv file are as follows.

csvtojson() .fromFile(csvfilepath) .then((json) => { console.log(json) fs.writeFileSync("output.json",JSON.stringify(json),"utf-8",(err) => { if(err) console.log(err) }) }) |
Now we will call the library function to take input from file and convert it to json. After that we create a new file in the root directory with the help of writeFileSync output.json file. If you execute this node script after that you will find a output.json file which will contain the following contents.
