FAQ
What is JSON to CSV Converter?
JSON to CSV Converter transforms JSON arrays into comma-separated values format. Input: JSON array of objects. Output: CSV text with headers. Use case: spreadsheet import, database export, data migration.
What JSON structure is supported?
Supports flat JSON arrays of objects only. Example: [{"name":"John","age":30}]. Nested objects: flattened to dot notation. Arrays: converted to comma-separated strings. Primitives (strings, numbers): not supported as root.
How are nested objects handled?
Nested objects flatten with dot notation. Example: {"user":{"name":"John"}} becomes user.name: John. Deep nesting (>3 levels): may create long column names. Arrays inside objects: joined with semicolons.
Can I customize the delimiter?
No, comma delimiter only. For other delimiters (tab, semicolon): use post-processing or dedicated tools. CSV standard: comma-separated, RFC 4180 compliant. Values with commas: auto-quoted.
How to handle missing fields?
Missing fields become empty cells. Example: [{"a":1},{"a":2,"b":3}] → row 1 has empty "b" column. All keys from all objects: included as columns. Order: first object keys first.
What is the maximum file size?
Browser limit: ~50MB JSON input. Processing time: ~3 seconds per 10MB. For larger files: split JSON array into chunks. Memory usage: 2-3x input size during conversion.
Does it preserve data types?
No, all values converted to strings. Numbers: "30" not 30. Booleans: "true"/"false". Null: empty string. Dates: ISO string format. To preserve types: use JSON format instead.
Can I select specific fields?
No field selection in basic version. All object keys become columns. To select fields: pre-process JSON (filter keys) or use advanced CSV tools with column selection.
Pro Tip
💡 Tip: For large files, consider compressing or splitting them first for faster processing. When batch processing, you can upload multiple files at once and the tool will process them automatically.
