Browser Alternative to Python csv.DictReader
Python's csv.DictReader is the standard way to parse CSV to a list of dicts. Our browser tool gives you the same result instantly — paste a CSV string and get JSON without writing any code.
Python csv.DictReader Equivalent
import csv, json
with open('data.csv') as f:
reader = csv.DictReader(f)
data = list(reader)
print(json.dumps(data, indent=2))
Our tool performs the same operation — plus it infers types (numbers, booleans, nulls) that DictReader returns as strings by default.
Type Inference
- "42" →
42(integer) - "3.14" →
3.14(float) - "true"/"false" →
true/false(boolean) - "" →
null - Everything else →
"string"
