Currently supports arrays of homogeneous flat objects, that is: no nesting and it assumes the _first_ object has all the keys required:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
|
- name: Bobo
|
|
|
|
|
type: dog
|
|
|
|
|
- name: Fifi
|
|
|
|
|
type: cat
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As well as arrays of arrays of scalars (strings/numbers/booleans):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
|
- [Bobo, dog]
|
|
|
|
|
- [Fifi, cat]
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Decode
|
|
|
|
|
Decode assumes the first CSV/TSV row is the header row, and all rows beneath are the entries.
|
|
|
|
|
The data will be coded into an array of objects, using the header rows as keys.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```csv
|
|
|
|
|
name,type
|
|
|
|
|
Bobo,dog
|
|
|
|
|
Fifi,cat
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
