+# Readme for j2c
+This package exists because I wanted to convert json to csv using python. Some hospitals use json as the "machine-readable" format for the hospital pricing transparency report.
+
+## Upstream
+None
+
+## Alternatives
+I am sure there are plenty of ways to convert json to csv, including even in python.
+
+## How to use
+Run `./json-to-csv.py --help` to learn how to use the cli.
+
+The j2c file is the library, should anybody need that.
+
+## Dependencies
+Python3
+
+## References
