Convert ODS to JSON

Row one supplies the keys and every row beneath it becomes an object. Merged headings are the thing to check first - a merge leaves one key with an empty one beside it, which is rarely what was meant.

What is ODS?

LibreOffice and OpenOffice's spreadsheet, and the ISO-standard one - the same ODF packaging an ODT uses, with sheets where a document has pages. Every cell stores its value and, separately, the text shown for it, which is why a figure formatted as currency can still be read back as the number underneath.

What is JSON?

The format the web runs on. Nested objects and arrays, real types, and a syntax small enough to fit on a postcard. It maps badly onto a grid, which is why converting deeply nested JSON to a spreadsheet always involves losing something.
