CSV ↔ JSON conversion in Python with Pandas

import pandas as pd import json # CSV → JSON df = pd.read_csv('data.csv') json_str = df.to_json(orient='records', indent=2) print(json_str) # JSON → CSV with open('data.json') as f: data = json.load(f) df = pd.DataFrame(data) df.to_csv('output.csv', index=False)

When to use CSV vs JSON

CSV is compact, human-readable, and easy to open in Excel or Google Sheets — making it ideal for tabular data with uniform columns (analytics exports, financial records, survey responses). JSON handles nested structures, arrays, mixed types, and optional fields, which is why it is the standard format for REST APIs and NoSQL databases. In practice, data pipelines often need both: CSVs for storage, sharing, and analysis; JSON for APIs and service-to-service communication. Tools like Pandas make it trivial to move between the two formats.
