CSV to JSON Converter
Use CSV to JSON Converter, review the result, and keep the original until the output is checked.
How to use CSV to JSON Converter
- Paste CSV into the left pane or JSON into the right, then press the arrow that points at the side you want filled.
- Give the CSV a header row, because the first line becomes the key names in the JSON.
- Read the output pane to check the columns that matter survived the round trip.
- Copy the result or Download edittools_data.csv / edittools_data.json.
What CSV to JSON Converter actually does to your file
One CSV row becomes one JSON object, which suits flat exports such as spreadsheets and database dumps. Types are not inferred, so every value arrives as a string - "1", "true" and "2024-05-01" all stay quoted and you cast them after import. Going the other way flattens structure into columns: a nested object becomes dotted names such as address.city, an array of plain values is joined with "; ", and an array that holds objects is written out as JSON text in one cell so nothing is lost. Rows with different keys are unioned, so a column can be empty on some lines. Delimiter, quoting and encoding choices are not offered, so an odd file is better converted by hand.
