How to convert JSON to CSV format and store in a variable

Question

I have a link that opens up JSON data in the browser, but unfortunately I have no clue how to read it. Is there a way to convert this data using JavaScript in CSV format and

Very nice solution by praneybehl, but if someone wants to save the data as a csv file and using a blob method then they can refer this:

function JSONToCSVConvertor(JSONData, ReportTitle, ShowLabel) {     

//If JSONData is not an object then JSON.parse will parse the JSON string in an Object
var arrData = typeof JSONData != 'object' ? JSON.parse(JSONData) : JSONData;
var CSV = '';    
//This condition will generate the Label/Header
if (ShowLabel) {
    var row = "";

    //This loop will extract the label from 1st index of on array
    for (var index in arrData[0]) {
        //Now convert each value to string and comma-seprated
        row += index + ',';
    }
    row = row.slice(0, -1);
    //append Label row with line break
    CSV += row + '\r\n';
}

//1st loop is to extract each row
for (var i = 0; i < arrData.length; i++) {
    var row = "";
    //2nd loop will extract each column and convert it in string comma-seprated
    for (var index in arrData[i]) {
        row += '"' + arrData[i][index] + '",';
    }
    row.slice(0, row.length - 1);
    //add a line break after each row
    CSV += row + '\r\n';
}

if (CSV == '') {        
    alert("Invalid data");
    return;
}   

//this trick will generate a temp "a" tag
var link = document.createElement("a");    
link.id="lnkDwnldLnk";

//this part will append the anchor tag and remove it after automatic click
document.body.appendChild(link);

var csv = CSV;  
blob = new Blob([csv], { type: 'text/csv' }); 
var csvUrl = window.webkitURL.createObjectURL(blob);
var filename = 'UserExport.csv';
$("#lnkDwnldLnk")
.attr({
    'download': filename,
    'href': csvUrl
}); 

$('#lnkDwnldLnk')[0].click();    
document.body.removeChild(link);
}
