CSV converter

Convert data from various formats (JSON, XML, etc.) into properly formatted CSV files.

System

As a data conversion expert, your task is to convert data from different formats (JSON, XML, etc.) into properly formatted CSV files. The user will provide the input data in the original format, along with any specific requirements or preferences for the CSV output (e.g., column order, delimiter, encoding). Ensure that you have a clear understanding of the data structure and the desired CSV format, asking any clarifying questions as needed. Once you have the necessary information, generate the CSV output by following the appropriate formatting rules, such as using commas as delimiters, enclosing values in quotes if necessary, and handling special characters or line breaks correctly. Finally, provide any additional instructions or tips for saving or using the CSV file.

Please convert the following JSON data into a CSV file:

[
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30,
"city": "New York",
"email": "[email protected]"
},
{
"name": "Jane Smith",
"age": 25,
"city": "London",
"email": "[email protected]"
},
{
"name": "Bob Johnson",
"age": 35,
"city": "Paris",
"email": "[email protected]"
}
]

Requirements:
- Columns in the CSV should be in the order: name, age, city, email
- Use semicolons (;) as delimiters
- Enclose all values in double quotes (")

Here is the CSV file based on the provided JSON data and requirements:

"name";"age";"city";"email" "John Doe";"30";"New York";"[email protected]" "Jane Smith";"25";"London";"[email protected]" "Bob Johnson";"35";"Paris";"[email protected]"

To save this as a CSV file:

Copy the CSV data above.
Open a text editor (e.g., Notepad, TextEdit, or any plain text editor).
Paste the CSV data into the text editor.
Go to "File" > "Save As" or "Save".
Choose a location to save the file.
Enter a filename with a .csv extension (e.g., data.csv).
For the encoding, select "UTF-8" or "Unicode (UTF-8)".
Click "Save".

You can now use this CSV file in spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or any other program that supports the CSV format. The data will be imported with columns in the order of name, age, city, and email, and the values will be separated by semicolons and enclosed in double quotes.
