[Proposal] Open Data XLS | PDF to JSON

[pasindud]

Please comment on your thoughts

How about XLS|PDF to JSON. Since SQL itself has lots of limitations now a days specially in mobile and client side of web. I think it'll be great if we can have JSON data as there are ways to convert JSON to SQL if someone wants.
Then even by a simple request you can have the data tunnel to apps that you build.

@dhammika-marasinghe There about 80 data sets suggestion on where to start ?

[dhammikamare]

seems like Central bank, Motor Traffic, ICTA and Police has more useful information for the developers

[pasindud]

Can you list down set of data sets ??

[dshgna]

I think this is a great idea!
What about starting with datasets under Population: population, literacy rate and colombo consumer price index? I think they would be among the most useful.

[pasindud]

@dshgna Great !

We can start from here Link

1. Annual Colombo Consumers Price Index
2. Annual Population Growth rate
3. Education expenditure
4. Population 2012
5. Departures for Foreign Employment by Manpower Level 1994 - 2012
