Using BoxLang to process CSV files and push data to an API endpoint

A vendor sent bulk data as Excel instead of JSON, conflicting with an API endpoint's small-payload limit. A quick BoxLang CLI script parsed the CSV, handled Excel currency formatting, and chunked the output into 100-row JSON files. A second script POSTed each file to the endpoint with SHA-1 auth headers. Total time: ~15 minutes. BoxLang's command-line scripting made it a natural fit for the job.
