The task of converting JSON to an Excel CSV file won’t take a long time. We suspect it can take less than a minute if you move fast enough and have the relevant knowledge.

If you have a JSON file, you need dedicated software to open or view the JSON file. At times, we need to convert a JSON file into different formats, like the xlsx.

That shouldn't be a problem, after all, Excel can handle JSON. So, you try to open the file in Excel using its data import tooling, which usually works very well indeed as a basic ETL system.

You don’t want to have to SCP the file to your desktop, load the file, save it in the requisite format, and then SCP the file back to the server. You want to be efficient. Hence, csvkit.
