Answer 1

I posted a couple of links in the comments as I was researching your answer, but now I am pretty convinced this is the way to do it.

Install the node package, and then use the following with your own json string, (which I just lifted from the link above.):

var converter = require('json-2-csv');

var documents = [
    {
        Make: 'Nissan',
        Model: 'Murano',
        Year: '2013',
        Specifications: {
            Mileage: '7106',
            Trim: 'S AWD'
        }
    },
    {
        Make: 'BMW',
        Model: 'X5',
        Year: '2014',
        Specifications: {
            Mileage: '3287',
            Trim: 'M'
        }
    }
];

var json2csvCallback = function (err, csv) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(csv);
};

converter.json2csv(documents, json2csvCallback);

This will return:

Make,Model,Year,Specifications.Mileage,Specifications.Trim
Nissan,Murano,2013,7106,S AWD
BMW,X5,2014,3287,M
