Escape Characters for JSON Blobs

  1. Default Escape Character:

    • The default escape character is the backslash (\). Use this to escape special characters within your CSV fields, such as commas or quotes.

  2. JSON Blobs:

    • When including JSON blobs as entries in your CSV file, use single quotes (') to enclose the JSON data. This helps avoid parsing issues.

id,name,data
1,"Example Name",'{"description": "This is an example with a comma\, and a quote\""}'
2,"Another Name",'{"values": [1, 2, 3]}'

In this example:

  • The comma within the description field in the JSON blob is escaped using a backslash (\,).

  • The double quote within the description field in the JSON blob is escaped using a backslash (\").

  • The entire JSON blob is enclosed in single quotes.

Quick Tips

  • Commas: Escape commas within fields using a backslash (\,).

  • Quotes: Escape double quotes within fields using a backslash (\").

  • JSON: Enclose JSON blobs in single quotes (').

By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure your CSV files are correctly formatted for data ingestion.
