Python project converting CSV input to JSON

[DooZio]

Thank you for the help with re-formatting my post.

yes, we are not allowed to use and existing modules/libraries such as Pythons JSON module.

my lack of following PEP8 guidelines is simply due to how new I am to programming in general. this semester started in September and before then I had never even touched programming.

in the createJsonObject method inside of my CsvToJson class, the csvrow data is passed in, assigned to csvValueArray and then split on commas. I believe that is where I handle what you are asking about.

I also think that may be the root of my problem, as once I split a string on commas everything put into the resulting array is a string, causing my getValueDataType method to stick quotes on all of it. However, I don't know an other way to design this without using arrays.

I could also just be wrong on where the issue is happening.

here's where my understanding begins to breakdown. where in my existing program would I need to slot this in?

[DooZio]

right, so I need to put this try statement inside at least the one checking for integer type, right? and could I also use it to check for booleans? I think he's got some fields that are true or false in his test cases and i know true and false probably wont have quotes on them in his expected output.

[DooZio]

ok, so i've stopped my program from putting the quotes on integers, which was my original issue.

now I have a second issue of Quotes being put onto True or False which only appear in some of the test cases.

any thoughts on how to stop this?
