Python script converts CSV and JSON to Markdown for LLM prompts

This post introduces a Python script designed to convert CSV and JSON data into Markdown tables, specifically for use in LLM prompts and chatbot knowledge bases. The script addresses common issues that break naive converters, such as pipes within cells, newlines in quoted cells, ragged rows, different delimiters, byte order marks, and nested fields. It utilizes only the Python standard library, making it a dependency-free solution for preparing data for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and other LLM applications. AI

IMPACT Facilitates cleaner data preparation for LLM inputs, improving RAG and chatbot knowledge base accuracy.
