CSVOの表現力

CSVOにはどのくらいの表現力があるのでしょうか。

JSONの公式サイトにあるJSONの例をCSVO形式に変換してみましょう。

例1

{
    "glossary": {
        "title": "example glossary",
        "GlossDiv": {
            "title": "S",
            "GlossList": {
                "GlossEntry": {
                    "ID": "SGML",
                    "SortAs": "SGML",
                    "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
                    "Acronym": "SGML",
                    "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
                    "GlossDef": {
                        "para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
                        "GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"]
                    },
                    "GlossSee": "markup"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

CSVO形式に変換してみましょう（CSVOはレコードのリストを表現するデータ形式なので、例1のJSONデータを1つ目のレコードとして扱った場合の結果となります）。

title,GlossDiv,,,,,,,,,
,title,GlossList,,,,,,,,

見にくいですね…。

エクセルで見やすくしてみましょう。（参考：エクセルでCSVOを見やすくする - はじめてのフォーマット）

CSVO形式

見えない…。

行／列を入れ替えてみましょう。

見やすくなりました。
