# jc.parsers.csv_ih

jc - JSON Convert `csv` implicit header file parser

The `csv` implicit header parser will attempt to automatically detect the
delimiter character. If the delimiter cannot be detected it will default to
comma. The file must have no header, and the field names will be generated
as "c0", "c1", etc.

Usage (cli):

    $ cat file.csv | jc --csv-ih

Usage (module):

    import jc
    result = jc.parse('csv_ih', csv_output)

Schema:

CSV file converted to a Dictionary:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html

    [
      {
        "column_name1":     string,
        "column_name2":     string
      }
    ]

Examples:

    $ cat homes.csv
    142, 160, 28, 10, 5, 3,  60, 0.28,  3167
    175, 180, 18,  8, 4, 1,  12, 0.43,  4033
    129, 132, 13,  6, 3, 1,  41, 0.33,  1471
    ...

    $ cat homes.csv | jc --csv-ih -p
