What Is JSON to CSV Conversion?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and CSV (Comma-Separated Values) are two of the most common data formats. JSON is used by APIs, databases, and web applications. CSV is used by spreadsheets (Excel, Google Sheets), data analysis tools, and legacy systems.

Converting between them is one of the most common data tasks for developers, analysts, and business users. Our free converter tool handles this instantly in your browser.

Supported JSON Formats

The converter supports these JSON structures:

  • Array of objects — Most common. Each object becomes a CSV row.
  • Nested objects — Nested keys are flattened using dot notation (e.g., address.city).
  • Mixed types — Strings, numbers, booleans, and nulls are all handled correctly.
  • Large datasets — Processing happens in-browser, so there's no upload size limit.
Example JSON Input
[
  { "name": "Alice", "age": 30, "city": "Seattle" },
  { "name": "Bob", "age": 25, "city": "Portland" },
  { "name": "Charlie", "age": 35, "city": "Boise" }
]
CSV Output
name,age,city
Alice,30,Seattle
Bob,25,Portland
Charlie,35,Boise

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a file size limit?

No. The tool runs in your browser, so the only limit is your device's memory. We've tested with datasets of 50,000+ rows.

Does my data get uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens client-side in JavaScript. Your data never leaves your machine.

Can I convert CSV back to JSON?

Yes. Use the mode toggle to switch to "CSV → JSON" mode. The tool automatically infers data types (numbers, booleans, nulls).

Does it handle nested JSON objects?

Yes. Nested keys are flattened with dot notation. For example, {"address": {"city": "Seattle"}} becomes the column address.city.
