JSON to CSV Converter

Convert JSON data (array of objects) to CSV format.

How to Use the JSON to CSV Converter:

  1. 1 Paste your JSON data into the "JSON Input" area. The JSON should typically be an array of objects (e.g., `[{"col1":"val1"}, {"col1":"val2"}]`) or a single object.
  2. 2 Click the "Convert to CSV" button.
  3. 3 The converted CSV data will appear in the "CSV Output" area.
  4. 4 You can then copy the CSV data or download it as a `.csv` file.
  5. 5 If your JSON is invalid, an error message will be shown.

Why Convert JSON to CSV?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is excellent for web APIs and hierarchical data, while CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple, flat-file format that is universally supported by spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.

Converting JSON to CSV is a common task for:

  • Data Analysis: Easily open and manipulate your data in a spreadsheet to create charts, pivot tables, and perform calculations.
  • Data Import: Many databases and business intelligence tools have straightforward import processes for CSV files.
  • Sharing Data: CSV is a simple, human-readable format that is easy to share with non-technical users.

How This Tool Works

This converter is designed to work with JSON that is structured as an array of objects (e.g., `[{"id": 1, "name": "A"}, {"id": 2, "name": "B"}]`).

  • The keys from the first object in the array are used to create the CSV header row.
  • Each subsequent object in the array becomes a new row in the CSV file.
  • Note: This tool works best with flat JSON objects. Nested objects or arrays within the JSON will be converted to a string representation (e.g., `[object Object]`) in the CSV output.
