How JSON to CSV Converter works

The JSON to CSV Converter parses your JSON array, automatically discovers all column names (including from nested objects), and generates a properly quoted CSV — all inside your browser.

  1. 1

    Paste a JSON array

    The input must be a JSON array where each element is an object. Mixed arrays, arrays of primitives, or single objects are not supported. Click "Load sample" to see the expected format.

  2. 2

    Columns are auto-detected

    The tool scans every object in the array and collects all unique keys. If "Flatten nested objects" is on, nested properties become dot-notation columns (e.g. address.city).

  3. 3

    Choose your delimiter

    Comma is the standard for most tools. Semicolon is common in European locales where commas are decimal separators. Tab-separated values (TSV) work in many databases and spreadsheet apps.

  4. 4

    Values are safely quoted

    Any value containing the delimiter, double quotes, or newlines is wrapped in double quotes. Existing double quotes in values are escaped as two double-quotes — following RFC 4180.

  5. 5

    Preview, copy, or download

    The table preview shows the first 20 rows. Copy the full CSV to clipboard or download it as a .csv file for import into Excel, Google Sheets, or any database.

All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your JSON data is never sent to MonitorGiant or any third party. The download uses a local Blob URL — no upload involved.

Frequently asked questions — JSON to CSV Converter

How do I convert a JSON array to a CSV file?

Paste a JSON array of objects (e.g. [{"name":"Alice","age":30},{"name":"Bob","age":25}]) into the input box and click Convert. The tool automatically detects all unique keys across every object and uses them as CSV column headers. You can then copy the output or download it as a .csv file ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any data tool.

What happens to nested JSON objects and arrays?

Nested objects are flattened using dot notation: a field like {"address":{"city":"London"}} becomes the column address.city. Arrays within objects are serialised as JSON strings in the cell. This covers the majority of real-world API responses. For deeply nested structures, you may need to preprocess the JSON before converting.

Can I change the delimiter from comma to semicolon or tab?

Yes — use the delimiter selector in the toolbar to switch between comma (,), semicolon (;), and tab (\t). Semicolons are the standard in many European locales where commas are used as decimal separators. Tab-delimited files (.tsv) are useful when your data contains commas within field values.

Does the converter handle fields with commas or quotes?

Yes — the converter follows RFC 4180 CSV quoting rules. Any field containing a comma, double quote, or newline is automatically wrapped in double quotes. Literal double quotes within a field are escaped by doubling them (e.g. "say ""hello"""). This produces standards-compliant CSV that Excel, Python's csv module, and Google Sheets parse correctly.

Can I import the resulting CSV into Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. In Excel, use File → Import or drag the .csv file onto the Excel window and follow the import wizard (select comma or your chosen delimiter). In Google Sheets, use File → Import and select the CSV file. Both applications will place each column in a separate cell, preserving the structure generated by this tool.
