Free online JSON to properties converter. Just load your JSON file in the input field and it will automatically get converted to a properties file. In the tool options, you can fine-tune the output format by customizing the separator between property keys and values, changing how the nested object keys are joined, and selecting the formatting of array indexes.

This tool converts configuration files in JSON format to the properties file format. It turns nested multi-level JSON objects and arrays into a flat linear list of key-value pairs, known as the properties file. The properties file is also known for its simplicity, as there's almost no special syntax. The way this tool works is it recursively traverses all nested JSON data, creating a hierarchical sequence of JSON keys, values, and array contents from the root object (or array) to the final value in the chain. It takes into account the data type of each JSON element and forms the corresponding element in properties format. If the input JSON is an object, then each key-value pair is turned into a single line in the properties file, with the equals sign "=" inserted between the key and the value. For example, a JSON object { "name" : "Julie" } will turn into a properties file "name=Julie". In the options, you can change the equal sign to a colon (in this case, the properties file will be "name: Julie") or set a custom separator character, such as "> " (in this case, the properties file will be "name> Julie"). If one JSON object is nested within another object, then when objects are flattened, their keys are joined via a dot symbol. For example, a nested JSON object { "animal" : { "type" : "cat" } } will become the properties file "animal.type=cat". In the options, you can replace the dot with an underscore (in this case, the properties file will be "animal_type=cat") or set a custom key joining character, such as "+" (in this case, the properties file will be "animal+type=cat"). If the JSON contains an array, the program uses the index of each value in the array as a key. Just like when flattening objects, the indexes are separated from other keys via a dot symbol. For example, a JSON object containing an array { "colors" : [ "red", "green", "blue" ] } will become a properties file "colors.0=red colors.1=green colors.2=blue". In the options, you can also wrap the indexes in square brackets (in this case, the properties file will be "colors[0]=red colors[1]=green colors[2]=blue"), use custom brackets such as "<>" (in this case, the properties file will be "colors<0>=red colors<1>=green colors<2>=blue), or separate the index with a custom symbol, such as "/" (in this case, the properties file will be "colors/0=red colors/1=green colors/3=blue"). The output data of this tool is compatible with Java applications and other tools that work with properties files. If you already have a properties file and need to convert it back to regular JSON, then you can use our Convert Properties to JSON tool. Json-abulous!

In this example, we convert a JSON object representing house data into the properties format. The JSON object includes three keys and one nested object. When converting JSON to properties, the keys and their values get connected via an equal sign, while keys from the nested object are flattened and merged with the keys from the root object via the dot symbol.
This example converts a JSON array of nested arrays into an indexed properties format. It prints one array element per line and also shows the indexes of inner and outer arrays. Each index is enclosed in square brackets "[ ]", and a colon ":" is placed between the indexes and the array element's value.
In this example, we convert a more complex JSON data structure into a custom properties format. The input JSON is an array containing nested objects, which in turn contain more arrays. The file represents event data of a concert and a conference on two different dates. When converting this data structure to properties, we create a completely custom properties file format: we use a plus sign "+" to separate nested keys, a greater-than sign ">" to separate keys and values, and round brackets "( )" to enclose array indexes.
