Build a Command-Line Application to Convert CSV to JSON in Rust
Create a command-line application to convert a CSV file to a JSON file using the Rust programming language
In this project, we will be building a command-line application to convert a CSV file to a JSON file using the Rust programming language. This can be useful for working with data in different formats or for integrating with APIs that require JSON input.
Project Checklist
- Install and set up a Rust development environment
- Design and implement a command-line application to read in a CSV file and convert it to a JSON file
- Test and debug the application using sample data
Bonus Project Checklist Items
- Implement additional command-line options or flags to customize the conversion process, such as specifying the input and output file paths or the JSON formatting
- Add error handling to the application to gracefully handle invalid input or file errors
- Integrate the application with a data processing library or crate, such as csv or serde

Hint/Code snippet to start
To get started, you can use the following code snippet to set up a basic command-line application using Rust:
use std::env;
fn main() {
let args: Vec<String> = env::args().collect();
println!("Hello, {}!", args[1]);
}
This code will print the first command-line argument passed to the application. You can then add logic to read in the CSV file and convert it to a JSON file using the provided libraries or crates.
