Description

Currently we only load configs via JSON file but should be able to ingest CSV as well, this mostly means spec'ing out how to convert flat CSV columns to nested JSON when loaded.

  • Decide upon naming convention
  • Build conversion function
  • Test test test

Contributor guide

Research direction
Design a CSV to JSON conversion function that maps flat columns to nested JSON based on a naming convention. Start by investigating how the existing JSON config is structured, then propose a column naming scheme (e.g., dot notation) and implement the converter with thorough tests.
