Google Sheets is a great place to store data for a website. The simple interface and easy-to-update features make it one of the top choices for knowledge workers (especially non-coders).
But for developers, working directly with spreadsheets is pretty annoying. Dealing with CSV files is something most of us would say no to. The solution? Transforming the whole Google Sheet data into a JSON API!
We know there are tons of tools in the conversion market. However, our pick goes to the automatic JSON API generator sheet.best.
