Key Features

📄

Auto Column Headers

What JSON Structure Works Best?

The converter works best with arrays of objects — each object becomes a row, and each key becomes a column header. A single object is converted to one row. Arrays of primitives produce a single "value" column.

// Best structure — array of objects:
[
  { "name": "Alice", "age": 30, "city": "NYC" },
  { "name": "Bob",   "age": 25, "city": "LA" }
]

// Result:
// name,age,city
// Alice,30,NYC
// Bob,25,LA

Handling Nested Objects

Nested objects and arrays are automatically stringified as JSON in the CSV cell. For example, {"address": {"city": "NYC"}} produces the cell value{"city":"NYC"}. If you need fully flattened output, flatten your JSON first.

Delimiter Options

By default, the output uses comma (,) as the delimiter. You can switch to pipe (|) or semicolon (;) using the Delimiter dropdown in the options panel. This is useful when your data itself contains commas. You can also toggle column headers on/off and switch between raw text and a table preview.
