What is CSV to JSON Converter?
Bidirectional CSV ↔ JSON converter. CSV to JSON: transforms tabular data into an array of key-value objects, auto-detecting headers from the first row. JSON to CSV: flattens object arrays into tabular format. Supports custom delimiters (comma, tab, semicolon), quote handling, and null value treatment. Perfect for data import/export, API format conversion, and Excel/Google Sheets migration. All processing runs locally in your browser.

FAQ
Does the CSV need headers in the first row?
Recommended. By default, the first row becomes JSON keys. If your first row is data, disable "First row as headers" — the tool will auto-generate field_1, field_2, etc.
Does it support tab-separated (TSV) files?
Yes. Select "Tab" as the delimiter to handle TSV files. Semicolons, pipes, and custom delimiters are also supported.
What if my CSV data contains commas?
Standard CSV wraps fields with commas in double quotes (e.g., `"Hello, World"`). The tool follows RFC 4180 and correctly handles quoted commas.
Can nested JSON objects be converted to CSV?
One level of nesting is supported. Nested objects are flattened to `parent.child` column names. For deeper nesting, flatten first.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. All conversion runs locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can it handle large files?
Yes — files up to tens of MB work fine. For very large files (>100MB), processing may take longer. Consider splitting into batches.
