# 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
