Convert JSON to CSV
How It Works
This converter transforms JSON arrays into CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format. It handles:
- Array of objects: Keys become headers, values become rows
- Array of arrays: First array can be used as headers
- Nested objects: Flatten with dot notation or stringify as JSON
- Special characters: Values with commas, quotes, or newlines are properly escaped
Supported JSON Formats
Array of Objects (most common):
[
{ "name": "John", "age": 30 },
{ "name": "Jane", "age": 25 }
]
Array of Arrays:
[ ["name", "age"], ["John", 30], ["Jane", 25] ]
CSV Escaping Rules
| Character | Handling | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Comma in value | Wrap field in quotes | "San Francisco, CA" |
| Quote in value | Double the quote | "Say ""Hello""" |
| Newline in value | Wrap field in quotes | "Line 1
Line 2" |
| Leading/trailing space | Wrap field in quotes | " padded " |
Frequently Asked Questions
What JSON formats are supported?
The converter works with arrays of objects (most common for API data) and arrays of arrays. Single objects are not supported—wrap them in an array first.
How are nested objects handled?
You have three options: Stringify converts nested objects to JSON strings, Flatten creates columns like address.city, and Skip ignores nested fields entirely.
Will this work with large files?
Yes, the conversion happens entirely in your browser. For very large files (10MB+), you may experience a brief delay, but your data never leaves your device.
How do I open the CSV in Excel?
Click "Download" to save the CSV file, then open it in Excel. If you're in a region that uses semicolons as delimiters, select "Semicolon" before converting.
