FAQ

Questions.

Can't find an answer? Send us your question.

What kind of JSON data can I convert?

The tool handles arrays of objects, single objects, and complex nested structures. It works best with structured data where objects share similar properties.

How are nested objects handled?

By default, nested objects are flattened using dot notation (e.g., user.address.city becomes a single column). You can disable this option to keep nested objects as JSON strings.

What happens with arrays in my JSON?

Arrays can be expanded into separate columns (e.g., tags[0], tags[1]) or kept as JSON strings depending on your settings.

Can I handle irregular JSON structures?

Yes, the tool will analyze all objects and create columns for every unique property found across all objects.

What delimiters can I use?

You can choose from comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe separators for your CSV output.

Will my data be uploaded to any server?

No, all processing happens in your browser. Your data never leaves your computer.

Can I edit my data before exporting?

Yes, the tool includes an edit mode that lets you modify values in a spreadsheet-like interface.

How do I handle CSV files with special characters?

Enable the 'Quote Strings' option to ensure text with special characters (including your delimiter) is properly escaped.

Is there a limit to the file size?

The tool works best with files up to a few MB. Larger files may cause performance issues in the browser.

Can I convert CSV back to JSON?

This tool is specifically for JSON to CSV conversion. Check our CSV to JSON tool for the reverse operation.

Will the CSV work with Excel?

Yes, the default settings (comma delimiter with quoted strings) are optimized for Excel compatibility.
