What it does
Select a table, copied from a spreadsheet, as CSV or as a Markdown table, and get it in the other formats: Markdown, CSV, tab-separated or JSON.
For JSON, the first row gives the keys and every other row becomes an object.
It needs at least two rows and two columns, with the same number of columns in every row.
Copy any format, or replace the selection with it.
