Converting a csv file to json using C#

Question

I was wondering if someone\'s written a utility to convert a CSV file to Json using C#. From a previous question on stackoverflow, I\'m aware of this nice utility - https://

Answer 1

I used Dictionary and returned json using newtonsoft

public string ConvertCsvFileToJsonObject(string path) 
{
    var csv = new List();
    var lines = File.ReadAllLines(path);

    foreach (string line in lines)
        csv.Add(line.Split(','));

    var properties = lines[0].Split(',');

    var listObjResult = new List>();

    for (int i = 1; i < lines.Length; i++)
    {
        var objResult = new Dictionary();
        for (int j = 0; j < properties.Length; j++)
            objResult.Add(properties[j], csv[i][j]);

        listObjResult.Add(objResult);
    }

    return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(listObjResult); 
}
