TSV To HTML Table Converter

Converting TSV (Tab-Separated Values) to an HTML Table is a useful task when you want to display tabular data on a webpage or share it in an easily readable format for online applications. HTML tables provide a structured and visually accessible way to display rows and columns of data.

Why Convert TSV to HTML Table?
✅ Web Display: HTML tables are widely used for displaying data on web pages.
✅ Human-Readable: HTML tables are easy to read and can be styled with CSS for better presentation.
✅ Structured Format: HTML tables are a standard way of organizing data in rows and columns for web applications.

Example of TSV to HTML Table Conversion:
TSV Input:

tsv

name age city
Alice 30 New York
Bob 25 Los Angeles
Charlie 35 Chicago

<td>New York</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Bob</td>
<td>25</td>
<td>Los Angeles</td>
</tr>
<tr>

How to Convert TSV to HTML Table:
1. Using Python:
You can use Python to read the TSV file and convert it to an HTML table by creating the table's HTML tags.

Here's a sample Python script:

python

import csv

# Open the TSV file
with open('data.tsv', mode='r') as tsv_file:
tsv_reader = csv.reader(tsv_file, delimiter='\t')

# Start the HTML table
html_content = '<table border="1">\n'

# Get headers (first row)
headers = next(tsv_reader)
html_content += ' <tr>\n'
for header in headers:
html_content += f' <th>{header}</th>\n'
html_content += ' </tr>\n'

# Get the data rows
for row in tsv_reader:
html_content += ' <tr>\n'
for cell in row:
html_content += f' <td>{cell}</td>\n'
html_content += ' </tr>\n'

# End the HTML table
html_content += '</table>'

# Write to an HTML file
with open('data.html', 'w') as html_file:
html_file.write(html_content)
How the Code Works:
Read the TSV File: It uses csv.reader with delimiter='\t' to read the TSV file.
Create HTML Table: The script generates the necessary HTML tags:
<table> starts the table.
<th> tags are used for the header row.
<td> tags are used for each data cell.
Write HTML File: Finally, the generated HTML content is saved to a file (data.html).
