How can a non-technical person create structured data (such as heirarchical data in json)?
-
consider company financial results - profit and loss or balance sheet. They are created in spreadsheets. You could write a program which will convert a spreadsheet/csv into structured json. However, what I am interested in is creating data in a structured format to start with. You could probably add a column in a spreadsheet which indicates parent or child relationships. I personally can just create the data in json, but I don't think you can ask a non-technical person to do so. How would you approach this? Note: I am not looking for a coding answer. Think of a bank teller creating this data. Would you just ask him/her to mark a column in a spreadsheet to indicate relationships (parent/child)

Maybe by making a standard template (xlsx/csv) that everyone (teller and the program) can work with and writing an algorithm as generic as possible.
