Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

Examples
csv file to json
should convert csv to json.
anyToJSON.csv({path: "test/100.csv"}, function(data){
var output = [{"a":"4","b":"9","c":"2","d":"3"}];
var anyToJSONdata = data;
assert.equal(JSON.stringify(anyToJSONdata), JSON.stringify(output));
done()
});should not break when there are commas in strings.
anyToJSON.csv({path: "test/test.csv"}, function(data){
var output = [{"Id":"1","UserName":"Sam, Smith"},
{"Id":"2","UserName":"Fred Frankly"},
{"Id":"1","UserName":"Zachary Zupers"}];
anyToJSONdata = data;
assert.equal(JSON.stringify(anyToJSONdata), JSON.stringify(output));
done();
})loading json from a file
should load json from a file.
anyToJSON.json({path: "test/test.json"}, function(data){
var output = [{"a":"4","b":"9","c":"2","d":"3"}];
anyToJSONdata = data;
assert.equal(JSON.stringify(anyToJSONdata), JSON.stringify(output));
done()
});loading json from rest
should load json from rest.
server.startServer(function(){
anyToJSON.restJSON({
hostname: "localhost",
port: 3000,
path: "/json"},function(data){
var output = [{"a":"4","b":"9","c":"2","d":"3"}];
var anyToJSONdata = data;
assert.equal(JSON.stringify(anyToJSONdata), JSON.stringify(output));
done();
})
});loading csv from rest
should load csv from rest.
server.startServer(function(){
anyToJSON.restCSV({
hostname:"localhost",
port: 3000,
path: "/csv"}, function(data){
anyToJSONdata = data;
var output = [{"a":"4","b":"9","c":"2","d":"3"}]
assert.equal(JSON.stringify(anyToJSONdata), JSON.stringify(output));
done();
})
