Need some General Guidance on how to build a web app to convert excel files to csv.
#1
Hi,

This is my first post here, I wish to know what frameworks I should look into to build a website/web application, where users can upload an excel file and get a download link for a csv file which is created/converted from the same?

My idea on how this would work is as follows, please correct me or provide guidance wherever necessary,
(1) I need a webpage to enable the user to upload the file.
(2) The file then needs to be validated (to check correct format, encoding etc) before processing it.
(3) Read the uploaded file and process/convert to csv file (How does one do this?)
(4) Provide user with a link to the csv file.

Would appreciate it if someone provides me with a high level overview of how this application can be developed? What are the available technologies/frameworks to help in this?

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

it's simple with pandas, see: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/st...o_csv.html
