//var csv is the CSV file with headers
function csvJSON(csv){

  var lines=csv.split("\n");

  var result = [];

  // NOTE: If your columns contain commas in their values, you'll need
  // to deal with those before doing the next step 
  // (you might convert them to &&& or something, then covert them back later)
  // jsfiddle showing the issue https://jsfiddle.net/
  var headers=lines[0].split(",");

  for(var i=1;i<lines.length;i++){

      var obj = {};
      var currentline=lines[i].split(",");

      for(var j=0;j<headers.length;j++){
          obj[headers[j]] = currentline[j];
      }

      result.push(obj);

  }

  //return result; //JavaScript object
  return JSON.stringify(result); //JSON
}
