EAM CSV to JSON

Example script for converting data from EAM, i.e. splunk, CSV files to json. This provides a useful example of how to export and use data.

usage: eamcsv2json [-h] -i INPUT [-o OUTPUT] [-e ERRORS] [-l LOG] [-c CONFIG]
                   [-t TYPE_COLUMN]

EAM (Splunk) CSV to JSON conversion script meant to handle larger files with
potential errors. New lines and quotes are handled gracefully when data
fields are quoted in double quotes (") and escaped with backslash (\).
This is outside RFC-4180 specification

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        CSV file name to be read
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        (optional) Output file name; else stdout
  -e ERRORS, --errors ERRORS
                        (optional) Error file name; when provided CSV 3 lines
                        of context will be printed. Default is content to log
                        file only
  -l LOG, --log LOG     (optional) Log file name; when provided log message
                        will go to file. Default is stderr
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        (optional) Configuration for type mappings; else first
                        row is considered for labels. When provided type
                        column setting is used
  -t TYPE_COLUMN, --type-column TYPE_COLUMN
                        (optional) When config set use this column to expect
                        type mapping. Default 4

from eamcsv2json.eamcsv2dict import EamCsv2Dict

type_mappings = {

    'TypeB': ['fieldA', 'fieldB'],
}
converter = EamCsv2Dict('input.csv', 'error.csv', type_mappings, 2)
