What Is a CSV to JSON Converter?

This tool converts data from CSV format (Comma Separated Values) to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. CSV is a tabular text file with data organized in rows and columns, which are separated by commas. It's commonly used for exporting data from databases and spreadsheets. JSON is a structured text format based on key-value pairs and nested arrays and objects, and it's ideal for exchanging data between programming languages, applications, and online services. Converting CSV to JSON makes it easy to import data from databases and spreadsheets into web applications and APIs. When you load a CSV file in the tool's input, you can customize options for its format. Specifically, you can specify the delimiter, quote, and comment characters used in your CSV file. By default, these characters are comma (,) for the delimiter, double quotes (") for quoting, and the hash symbol (#) for the comment character. If you're working with custom CSV files, you can change them. For example, if you're working with a semicolon-separated file, then you can set the delimiter to a semicolon (;), or if your file contains comments that start with two slashes (//), you can set them as the comment symbol. You can also fine-tune the conversion process. Specifically, you can create JSON objects where CSV column headers are used as keys in the associative objects. This can be controlled via the "Convert Headers to Keys" option. If this option is off, then a JSON array with nested arrays containing corresponding CSV rows will be created. Additionally, the tool can automatically detect numeric or boolean values in the CSV data and convert them to real JSON values (without quotes), preserving their data types. You can also customize JSON indentation and prettify it using two spaces or one tab per indentation level, or output a compact JSON without indentation. Last but not least, you can exclude CSV rows that contain no symbols (empty records). For the reverse data conversion from JSON to CSV, you can use our Convert JSON to CSV program. Json-abulous!

Transform Student Grades in CSV Format into JSON Format

This example converts a CSV file containing student grades into a JSON array with two associative objects. It enables the "Convert Headers to Keys" option to convert the column names on the first row of CSV into JSON object keys. As a result, the grade information is printed as a data structure that can be imported into JavaScript for further analysis. Additionally, the JSON output is prettified and printed hierarchically with two spaces per indentation level.

name,grade,level,gpa Kai,89,B,3.7 Jad,79,C,2.8
[ { "name": "Kai", "grade": "89", "level": "B", "gpa": "3.7" }, { "name": "Jad", "grade": "79", "level": "C", "gpa": "2.8" } ]

Convert a Two-column CSV into a JSON Array

In this example, a two-column and four-row CSV file is converted into a JSON array. As the input CSV contains empty lines, the "Skip Empty Lines" option is turned on to ensure data integrity. In the output, the program prints a JSON array containing another four subarrays, where each inner array corresponds to a single non-empty CSV row.

winter,cold spring,warm summer,hot autumn,chilly
[["winter","cold"],["spring","warm"],["summer","hot"],["autumn","chilly"]]

Dynamic Type Conversion

In this example, we enable dynamic type conversion. It automatically identifies numeric and boolean values in CSV data and outputs them as JSON values without quotes. In the input, we load store inventory CSV data, and in the output, we get JSON data with nested objects containing information about the product's id, name, price, and availability. Additionally, we use the "#" symbol as a comment marker to skip the last incomplete CSV line during the conversion.

id,product,price,in_stock 101,Laptop,1000,true 102,Monitor,250,true 103,Camera,500,false 104,Mouse,30,false #105,Keyboard
[ { "id": 101, "product": "Laptop", "price": 1000, "in_stock": true }, { "id": 102, "product": "Monitor", "price": 250, "in_stock": true }, { "id": 103, "product": "Camera", "price": 500, "in_stock": false }, { "id": 104, "product": "Mouse", "price": 30, "in_stock": false } ]
