    Converter
    CSV

    Need to analyze JSON data in Excel or Google Sheets? Our JSON to CSV converter transforms JSON arrays into spreadsheet-ready CSV files with automatic header generation.

    When to Use JSON to CSV

    • Analyzing API response data in spreadsheets
    • Creating reports from JSON exports
    • Importing data into databases that accept CSV
    • Sharing data with non-technical stakeholders

    How It Works

    The converter automatically detects array data in your JSON, extracts all unique keys as column headers, and converts each object into a CSV row. Nested objects are flattened using dot notation (e.g., "user.address.city").

    Example Conversion

    Input JSON:

    [
      {"name": "Alice", "age": 28, "city": "NYC"},
      {"name": "Bob", "age": 32, "city": "LA"}
    ]

    Output CSV:

    name,age,city
    Alice,28,NYC
    Bob,32,LA

    Key Features

    • Smart array detection: Finds arrays anywhere in your JSON
    • Nested object flattening: Uses dot notation for nested properties
    • Proper escaping: Handles commas and quotes correctly
    • Excel compatible: Output works directly with spreadsheet apps

    Pro Tips

    • For best results, use an array of objects with consistent keys
    • Nested arrays are converted to JSON strings in the CSV
    • Use the download button to save the CSV file directly
