TSV to JSON conversion using C# .NET.
The conversion of TSV (Tab-Separated Values) files to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a common task for developers and data professionals. TSV files are widely used for data storage and exchange due to their simplicity and ease of use. However, JSON has become the preferred format for web applications and APIs because of its lightweight structure and compatibility with various programming languages.
.NET JSON Transformation API
Aspose.Cells Cloud SDK for .NET is a powerful and versatile tool that simplifies the process of converting TSV (Tab-Separated Values) files to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. This SDK provides a comprehensive API that allows developers to manipulate and convert spreadsheets in various formats seamlessly.
In order to use the SDK, first you need to search Aspose.Cells-Cloud in NuGet packages manager and click the Add Package button. Secondly, obtain your client credentials from cloud dashboard. In case you do not have an existing account, simply create a free account by following the instructions specified in the quick start article.
Convert TSV to JSON in C#
The following section provides a detailed guide on how to efficiently perform the TSV to JSON conversion using C# .NET.
CellsApi cellsInstance = new CellsApi(clientID, clientSecret);
Firstly, initialize an object of CellsApi class where we pass the client credentials as arguments.
SaveOptions saveOptions = new SaveOptions()
Secondly, create an instance of SaveOptions where we define the output file format as JSON.
PostWorkbookSaveAsRequest postworkbookSaveAsRequest = new PostWorkbookSaveAsRequest()
Thirdly, create an instance of PostWorkbookSaveAsRequest where we specify the name of input TSV, name of resultant JSON File and other optional parameters.
var response = cellsInstance.PostWorkbookSaveAs(postworkbookSaveAsRequest);
Finally, call the API to initiate the TSV to JSON conversion. Once the code is successfully executed, the resultant JSON file is saved in the cloud storage.

The input TSV and the resultant JSON file used in the above example can be downloaded from source.tsv and converted.json.
TSV to JSON using cURL Commands
Alternatively, you may consider using cURL commands to convert TSV (Tab-Separated Values) files to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) with Aspose.Cells Cloud API. This practical and efficient approach is highly esteemed by developers who prefer command-line interfaces or need to integrate this functionality into automated scripts.
The first step in this approach is to generate a JWT access token using the following command:
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=XXXXXXX-b195-426c-85f7-XXXXXXXX&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"
Once the JWT access token has been generated, please execute the following command to transform TSV to JSON format. The resultant file is then stored in the cloud storage.
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/{sourceFile}?format=json&isAutoFit=false&onlySaveTable=false&outPath={resultantFile}&checkExcelRestriction=false" \
-X GET \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}"
Replace sourceFile with the name of input TSV file (available in the cloud storage), resultantFile with the name of resultant JSON file and accessToken with JWT access token generated above.
- In case you need to save the resultant JSON to a local drive, please use the following cURL command:
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/{sourceFile}?format=json&isAutoFit=false&onlySaveTable=false&checkExcelRestriction=false" \
-X GET \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-o "myResultant.json"
