CSV dumping ground?
Raw
gistfile1.txt
How's this for an idea - we build a crowd sourced community sandbox to upload
a CSV using a web form. Using a NoSQL database like MongoDB we could read the
header row of the CSV to create a collection with those fields. This means we
can get a basic JSON API for free (maybe paginated, etc) and with format
specifiers be able to download the original CSV again too. This would be
a set of URLs with a unique ID.
Maybe someone has already done something similar?
