Output from csvtojson not pure JSON

I’m trying to use this tool to convert a csv to JSON. The output i’m getting is not exactly pure “JSON”.

What I tried:

var csvToJson = require('csvtojson');
const converter = csvToJson({
  ignoreEmpty: true,
});

csvToJson()
  .fromFile(csvFile)
    .on('json', function(jsonObj) {
      console.log(jsonObj);
     })
    .on('done', function() {
      console.log("done !");
    });

And the output was something like this:

{ 
  field1: '100051',
  Membership: '100051',
  gender: 'male',
}

And what i’m expecting:

{ 
  "field1": "100051",
  "Membership": "100051",
  "gender": "male",
}

So i’m expecting is quotes around the object keys, which is the standard JSON. How can i achieve that ?

Thanks in advance 😃

It is because console.log function you used does not print the quotes – you can try with other JSON Object in javascript and console.log will never print the quotes.

I am having the same problem. The output from csvtojson() cannot be parsed as JSON. The thing about console.log is also not quite right:

It seems like maybe you are equating Javascript objects with JSON? In any case, this:

csvtojson().fromString('name, age\njane,doe').then(result => JSON.parse(result))

will throw an error Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1, proving that the result is not in fact JSON.
