What is JSON and CSV?

Before we dive into the conversion, let's understand the formats:

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation): A lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for machines to parse but hard for humans to read in large volumes.
CSV (Comma Separated Values): A simple text format used to store tabular data (numbers and text) that can be easily opened in Excel or Google Sheets.

Why Convert JSON to CSV?

JSON is great for APIs, but CSV is better for analysis. Here is why you might need to convert:

Data Visualization: It is much easier to create charts and graphs in Excel from a CSV file than from raw JSON.
Client Reports: Non-technical clients prefer seeing data in spreadsheets rather than looking at code.
Database Imports: Many legacy systems and databases require CSV files for bulk data uploads.
Cleaning Data: Sorting and filtering data is faster in a spreadsheet environment.
