JSON to CSV and CSV to JSON Converter Library in PHP

The most basic CSV to JSON and JSON to CSV converter library in PHP without any dependencies.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require ozdemirburak/json-csv

Usage

JSON to CSV Converter

use OzdemirBurak\JsonCsv\File\Json;

// JSON to CSV
$json = new Json(__DIR__ . '/above.json');
// To convert JSON to CSV string
$csvString = $json->convert();
// To set a conversion option then convert JSON to CSV and save
$json->setConversionKey('utf8_encoding', true);
$json->convertAndSave(__DIR__ . '/above.csv');
// To convert JSON to CSV and force download on browser
$json->convertAndDownload();

You can also convert directly from a JSON string using the fromString method.

$csvString = (new Json())->fromString('{"name": "Buddha", "age": 80}')->convert();

Assume that the input JSON is something like below.

[
  {
    "name": {
      "common": "Turkey",
      "official": "Republic of Turkey",
      "native": "T\u00fcrkiye"
    },
    "area": 783562,
    "latlng": [39, 35]
  },
  {
    "name": {
      "common": "Israel",
      "official": "State of Israel",
      "native": "\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc"
    },
    "area": 20770,
    "latlng": [31.30, 34.45]
  }
]

After the conversion, the resulting CSV data will look like below.

name_common	name_official	name_native	area	latlng_0	latlng_1
Turkey	Republic of Turkey	Türkiye	783562	39	35
Israel	State of Israel	ישראל	20770	31.3	34.45

CSV to JSON Converter

use OzdemirBurak\JsonCsv\File\Csv;

// CSV to JSON
$csv = new Csv(__DIR__ . '/below.csv');
$csv->setConversionKey('options', JSON_PRETTY_PRINT|JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE|JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);
// To convert CSV to JSON string
$jsonString = $csv->convert();
// To convert CSV to JSON and save
$csv->convertAndSave(__DIR__ . '/below.json');
// To convert CSV to JSON and force download on browser
$csv->convertAndDownload();

You can also convert directly from a CSV string using the fromString method.

$jsonString = (new Csv())->fromString('[{"name":"Buddha","age":"80"}]')->convert();

Assume that the input CSV file is something like below.

SepalLength	SepalWidth	PetalLength	PetalWidth	Name
5.1	3.5	1.4	0.2	Iris-setosa
7.0	3.2	4.7	1.4	Iris-versicolor
6.3	3.3	6.0	2.5	Iris-virginica

[
  {
    "SepalLength": "5.1",
    "SepalWidth": "3.5",
    "PetalLength": "1.4",
    "PetalWidth": "0.2",
    "Name": "Iris-setosa"
  },
  {
    "SepalLength": "7.0",
    "SepalWidth": "3.2",
    "PetalLength": "4.7",
    "PetalWidth": "1.4",
    "Name": "Iris-versicolor"
  },
  {
    "SepalLength": "6.3",
    "SepalWidth": "3.3",
    "PetalLength": "6.0",
    "PetalWidth": "2.5",
    "Name": "Iris-virginica"
  }
