  "readme": "# JSON to CSV\n\nPython 3.10 or newer. No third-party packages required.\n\n```sh\npython3 json_to_csv.py input.json output.csv --fields name email profile.country\n```\n\nThe input can be one JSON object or an array of objects. For a nested array,\nadd `--records-path data.items`. Dotted fields can select nested objects and\narray indexes, for example `addresses.0.city`.\n\nColumn order follows `--fields`. CSV quoting preserves commas, newlines, quotes,\nand Unicode. Null becomes an empty cell, booleans use JSON spellings, and arrays\nand objects become compact JSON. Missing fields cause an error; add\n`--missing blank` if empty cells are preferred.\n\nErrors return exit code 1 and leave no partial output. The script refuses to\noverwrite an existing destination or use the input as its output. An empty\nrecord array produces a header-only CSV. UTF-8 files with a BOM are accepted.\n\nCSV fields retain their original content. Load externally supplied data as text\nin a spreadsheet if it may contain formulas.\n",
