Save Google Sheet as JSON
The ExportSheetAsJSON
method will convert the active sheet of a Google Spreadsheet to a JSON file and saves the file to your Google Drive. The header (first row) are used as item attributes in the JSON document.
/* From https://gist.github.com/IronistM/8be09ebd4c5a4a58c63b */
function exportSheetAsJSON() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var rows = sheet.getDataRange();
var numRows = rows.getNumRows();
var numCols = rows.getNumColumns();
var values = rows.getValues();
var output = '';
output += '{"' + sheet.getName() + '" : {\n';
var header = values[0];
for (var i = 1; i < numRows; i++) {
if (i > 1) output += ' , \n';
var row = values[i];
output += '"' + row[0] + '" : {';
for (var a = 1; a < numCols; a++) {
if (a > 1) output += ' , ';
output += '"' + header[a] + '" : "' + row[a] + '"';
}
output += '}';
//Logger.log(row);
}
output += '\n}}';
Logger.log(output);
DriveApp.createFile(sheet.getName() + '.json', output, MimeType.PLAIN_TEXT);
}
