JSON to Text Converter

Flatten JSON into Readable Lists

JSON structure is essential for machines but often adds unnecessary noise for humans. This JSON to Text Converter eliminates brackets, quotes, and keys, extracting only the data values you need. It recursively scans arrays and nested objects to generate a simple, newline-separated list of strings and numbers.

This utility is perfect for developers needing a quick data dump, extracting specific lists from API responses, or converting complex data structures into plain text for reports. The entire process happens in your browser, ensuring total data privacy.

Extraction Process

1. Input: Paste your JSON code into the left panel.
2. Process: Click "Convert to Text." The tool validates the JSON and recursively collects all values.
3. Output: Copy the clean list of values from the right panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert JSON to plain text?

Paste your JSON code into the input box and click "Convert to Text." This tool automatically removes structural elements (like braces and keys) and outputs a list containing only the data values.

How do I extract a value from JSON?

This tool extracts all values at once. It flattens the hierarchy, giving you a sequential list of every string, number, and boolean found within the document, regardless of depth.

What is JSON to text?

It is the conversion of structured data into unstructured text. It involves discarding syntax characters ({}, [], :) to isolate the actual content payload for human reading or simple list processing.

Can you convert a JSON array to a list?

Yes. If you input a JSON array (e.g., ["one", "two"]), the tool converts it into a line-by-line text list. This is the fastest way to turn a data array into a copy-pasteable list.

How do I parse a JSON string?

Our tool uses the browser's built-in JSON.parse() method to validate and understand your data structure before extraction begins, ensuring accurate results even with complex nesting.
