Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert JSON to CSV?
Paste your JSON array into the input box and click "Convert to CSV." The tool parses the data, creates headers based on object keys, and outputs a formatted CSV string ready for clipboard copying.
What is the difference between JSON and CSV?
JSON is a hierarchical data format used for web APIs and code, supporting nested structures. CSV is a flat, tabular format used for spreadsheets and legacy databases, organizing data into strict rows and columns.
Can I convert a nested JSON to CSV?
CSV is inherently flat, so deep nesting is difficult to represent. This tool handles nested objects by converting them into JSON strings within the CSV cell, preserving the data without breaking the row structure.
How do I convert an array of JSON objects to CSV?
Simply paste the array into the input. The converter automatically identifies all unique keys across every object to build a complete header row, ensuring every data point is mapped correctly.
Is it better to store data in JSON or CSV?
JSON is superior for web applications, APIs, and complex data models. CSV is better for data storage, human readability in Excel, and simple data transfer between legacy systems.
