Frequently asked questions

Does the CSV need a header row?

Yes — the first row is used as the field names for each JSON object; make sure it's included at the top of your data.

What if a value contains a comma?

Values containing commas should be wrapped in quotes in the CSV, following standard CSV formatting, so they're parsed correctly.
