How do I convert JSON to CSV?

Paste your JSON array into the input textarea. The tool parses the JSON and generates CSV output instantly. You can then copy it or download it as a .csv file. The conversion happens entirely in your browser with no server processing.

What JSON formats are supported?

The converter works with JSON arrays of objects (the most common format), such as [{"name": "John", "age": 30}]. Each object becomes a row in the CSV. If your JSON is a single object or nested differently, use the Flatten Nested Objects option to handle deeper structures.

What does the Flatten Nested Objects option do?

When enabled, the converter flattens nested objects using dot notation. For example, {"address": {"city": "NYC"}} becomes a column named "address.city" with the value "NYC". This is useful when your JSON has nested structures that would otherwise be lost in a flat CSV format.

Can I convert JSON with arrays inside objects to CSV?

When flattening is enabled, array values inside objects are converted to JSON strings and placed in the corresponding column. For example, {"tags": ["a", "b"]} becomes a column "tags" with value "["a","b"]". This preserves the data while keeping it in CSV format.

Which delimiters can I use for the CSV output?

You can choose from three common CSV delimiters: comma (,), semicolon (;), and tab ( ). Comma is the standard CSV delimiter used by most tools. Semicolon is common in European locales where commas are used as decimal separators. Tab-separated values (TSV) are useful for pasting into spreadsheets.

Is my JSON data safe when using this converter?

Yes, absolutely. All JSON parsing and CSV generation happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data is never uploaded to any server, stored in a database, or transmitted over the network. You can safely convert sensitive JSON data including API responses with personal information.

How does the Include Headers toggle work?

When enabled (default), the first row of the CSV output contains the column names derived from the JSON object keys. When disabled, only the data rows are output without a header row. This is useful when you want to append data to an existing CSV file that already has headers.

Can I open the downloaded CSV in Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes, the downloaded .csv file uses UTF-8 encoding with proper quoting for values that contain delimiters, quotes, or newlines. Excel and Google Sheets both support opening CSV files directly. For best results with special characters in Excel, the file includes a UTF-8 BOM marker to ensure correct encoding detection.

What happens if JSON objects have different keys?

The converter collects all unique keys from all objects in the array to form the CSV header. If an object is missing a key, the corresponding cell in the CSV will be empty. This ensures a consistent column structure across all rows, even when objects have different shapes.

Can I convert the CSV back to JSON?

Yes, use our CSV to JSON Converter to reverse the process. The Swap button in both tools lets you quickly pipe output from one converter into the input of the other for format chaining and testing.

100% Private — Your Data Never Leaves Your Browser

All JSON parsing and CSV generation happen entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, stored, or tracked.

How to Use the JSON to CSV Converter

Paste your JSON — Enter or paste a JSON array of objects into the input textarea. Each object in the array will become a row in the CSV. Click "Load Sample" to try the tool with example nested JSON data.
Choose your delimiter — Select comma (standard CSV), semicolon (European format), or tab (TSV) as the column separator. The output updates instantly when you change the delimiter.
Toggle options — Enable "Include headers" to add a header row with column names from the JSON keys. Enable "Flatten nested objects" to expand nested objects using dot notation (e.g., address.city).
Copy or download — The CSV output appears instantly. Click "Copy CSV" to copy to your clipboard or "Download .csv" to save as a file with UTF-8 BOM encoding for Excel compatibility.
Chain conversions — Use the Swap button to move the CSV output back to the input field, then switch to CSV to JSON Converter to verify the round-trip conversion.

Understanding JSON to CSV Conversion

Why Convert JSON to CSV?

CSV is the universal format for spreadsheets, data analysis tools, and database imports. Converting JSON to CSV lets you open API responses, application data, or configuration data in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, or import it into SQL databases, pandas DataFrames, and R data frames.

Flattening Nested Objects

JSON often contains nested objects like {'user': {'name': 'John', 'address': {'city': 'NYC'}}}. CSV requires a flat structure with columns. The flatten option converts this to columns like user.name, user.address.city, preserving all data in a two-dimensional table format.

Handling Inconsistent Schemas

Real-world JSON arrays often have objects with different keys. The converter collects all unique keys from all objects to build a complete header. Missing keys in individual objects are represented as empty cells, ensuring a rectangular CSV structure that any spreadsheet tool can open.

CSV Quoting and Escaping

When a CSV field contains the delimiter character, double quotes, or newlines, it must be enclosed in double quotes per RFC 4180. Double quotes within values are escaped by doubling them (""). The converter handles this automatically, producing valid CSV that any compliant parser can read.

Common Use Cases

API Response to Spreadsheet

Convert JSON API responses directly into CSV for non-technical team members who need to analyze data in Excel or Google Sheets.

Database Data Export

Convert JSON data from NoSQL databases like MongoDB into CSV format for importing into SQL databases or data warehouses.

Data Analysis Preparation

Prepare JSON datasets for analysis in pandas, R, or Excel by converting to the universally supported CSV format.

Report Generation

Transform application data from JSON into CSV for automated report generation, mail merges, or business intelligence tools.

Configuration Migration

Convert JSON configuration files to CSV for bulk editing in spreadsheets, then convert back to JSON for deployment.

Data Backup and Sharing

Create portable CSV backups of JSON data that can be opened by anyone without specialized software.

JSON to CSV Conversion Tips

Before converting, use JSON Formatter to verify your JSON is valid and well-structured.
If your JSON has deeply nested structures, enable "Flatten nested objects" to preserve all data. You can also use JSON to YAML Converter for a more readable nested format.
The downloaded CSV includes a UTF-8 BOM marker so Excel detects the correct encoding automatically — no more garbled characters when opening the file.
For tab-separated output, select Tab as the delimiter. You can then paste the output directly into a spreadsheet and it will split into columns automatically.
If some objects are missing keys, the CSV will have empty cells for those fields. This is normal behavior — spreadsheets handle empty cells gracefully.
To validate your original JSON structure before conversion, use JSON Validator to check for syntax errors.
