Getting Started

JSON Converter is a free online tool that helps you work with JSON data. Our tool allows you to:

• Format JSON to make it readable
• Minify JSON to reduce its size
• Validate JSON to check for syntax errors
• Convert JSON to CSV format

All processing happens in your browser, so your data never leaves your computer. This makes our tool both fast and secure.

Formatting JSON

JSON formatting (also called "prettifying") adds proper indentation and line breaks to make your JSON data more readable.

How to Format JSON:

1. Paste your JSON data into the input field
2. Select the "Format" tab
3. Click the "Format JSON" button
4. Your formatted JSON will appear in the output field

  {'name':'John','age':30,'city':'New York'}
                

  {
    'name': 'John',
    'age': 30,
    'city': 'New York'
  }
                

Minifying JSON

JSON minification removes all unnecessary whitespace to reduce the size of your JSON data. This is useful when you need to save bandwidth or storage space.

How to Minify JSON:

1. Paste your JSON data into the input field
2. Select the "Minify" tab
3. Click the "Minify JSON" button
4. Your minified JSON will appear in the output field

  {
    'name': 'John',
    'age': 30,
    'city': 'New York'
  }
                

  {'name':'John','age':30,'city':'New York'}
                

Validating JSON

JSON validation checks if your JSON data is syntactically correct according to the JSON specification.

How to Validate JSON:

1. Paste your JSON data into the input field
2. Select the "Validate" tab
3. Click the "Validate JSON" button
4. The validation result will appear in the output field

  {'name':'John','age':30,'city':'New York'}
                

  The JSON is valid.
                

  {'name':'John','age':30,'city':'New York'
                

  Invalid JSON: Unexpected end of JSON input
                

Converting to CSV

Our tool can convert JSON arrays of objects to CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format, which is useful for importing data into spreadsheet applications.

How to Convert JSON to CSV:

1. Paste your JSON array into the input field
2. Select the "To CSV" tab
3. Click the "Convert to CSV" button
4. Your CSV data will appear in the output field

  [
    {'name':'John','age':30,'city':'New York'},
    {'name':'Jane','age':25,'city':'Boston'},
    {'name':'Bob','age':40,'city':'Chicago'}
  ]
                

  name,age,city
  John,30,New York
  Jane,25,Boston
  Bob,40,Chicago
                

Note: The JSON must be an array of objects with consistent properties to be converted to CSV.

API Reference

We offer a simple API for integrating our JSON conversion capabilities into your applications.

Examples

Here are some common examples of how to use our JSON Converter tool:

Example 1: Formatting a Complex JSON Object

When working with complex nested JSON objects, formatting can make the structure much clearer.

Example 2: Converting JSON API Response to CSV

Many APIs return data in JSON format. You can use our tool to convert this data to CSV for analysis in spreadsheet software.

Example 3: Validating User Input

If your application accepts JSON input from users, you can use our validation tool to check if the input is valid before processing it.
