TSV to JSON Converter

World's Simplest TSV Tool

Simple and free online TSV to JSON converter. Just paste a TSV table and turn it into JSON data. You can use headers as JSON keys, detect numbers and booleans, skip empty lines, set TSV parsing characters, and choose JSON indentation. Created by programmers from team Browserling.

Tool Options

TSV Format

What character separates TSV columns? (Usually a tab "\t".)
What character encloses TSV values in quotes? (Usually double quotes.)
What character denotes the beginning of a TSV comment? (Usually a hash "#".)

Conversion Options

Generate an associative JSON array where the headers from the first row of TSV are used as keys.
Detect numeric and boolean data types in TSV and leave them unquoted in JSON.
Skip empty TSV lines and exclude them from being converted to JSON.

JSON Format

Use two spaces for hierarchical indentation.
Use one tab for hierarchical indentation.
Output the JSON as a single line (minified).

What Is a TSV to JSON Converter?

This online tool transforms Tab Separated Values (TSV) files to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data structures. The output JSON can either be an array of objects or an array of arrays. You can control whether it's objects or arrays via the "Convert Headers to JSON Keys" option. If this option is on, then the first row of your TSV data with column names will be used as keys for the JSON objects (one TSV row will be converted to one object with as many keys as there are columns). Otherwise, the data will simply be converted as arrays (one TSV row will be converted to one array with as many elements as there are columns). If your TSV data doesn't have headers, then you can disable this option. Numbers and boolean values can be represented in JSON without quotes using the "Unquote Numbers and Booleans" option. The "Remove Empty Lines" option can be used to eliminate empty lines from the output. You can also change JSON indentation to spaces, tabs, or output compressed JSON. If your input TSV uses a different delimiter, quote, and comment characters than tabs (\t), double quotes ("), and hashes (#), you can customize them in the options. These options make the tool very flexible, and it can work with non-standard TSV file formats. To convert JSON back to TSV, you can use our Convert JSON to TSV tool. Tsv-abulous!

Convert a Pet TSV Data to JSON

This example translates TSV to JSON and sets JSON indentation to 2 spaces. The input data contains 3 columns and 3 rows. The first row defines column titles ("pet", "name", "age") and the remaining 2 rows contain the data ("cat", "Luna", "3", etc). When the input TSV is converted into JSON, the column titles are used as JSON keys, and the data are used as JSON values.

pet name age cat Luna 3 dog Max 5
[ { "pet": "cat", "name": "Luna", "age": 3 }, { "pet": "dog", "name": "Max", "age": 5 } ]
Required options
These options will be used automatically if you select this example.
What character separates TSV columns? (Usually a tab "\t".)
What character encloses TSV values in quotes? (Usually double quotes.)
What character denotes the beginning of a TSV comment? (Usually a hash "#".)
Generate an associative JSON array where the headers from the first row of TSV are used as keys.
Detect numeric and boolean data types in TSV and leave them unquoted in JSON.
Skip empty TSV lines and exclude them from being converted to JSON.

Create a JSON Object from a TSV

In this example, we convert a TSV file into an array of JavaScript objects. The input contains a list of video games organized by year. The first column contains the years, and the second column contains the game titles. After converting this two-column list to JSON, each row becomes a separate object with the keys "Year" and "Video Game". Additionally, we activate the "Unquote Numbers and Booleans" option and use tabs to add hierarchical indentation to the output JSON.

Year Video Game 2010 Mass Effect 2 2011 Dark Souls 2012 The Walking Dead 2013 Dota 2 2014 The Last of Us 2015 The Witcher 3 2016 Overwatch 2017 Legend of Zelda 2018 Minecraft 2019 Resident Evil 2 2020 Mortal Kombat 11
[ { "Year": 2010, "Video Game": "Mass Effect 2" }, { "Year": 2011, "Video Game": "Dark Souls" }, { "Year": 2012, "Video Game": "The Walking Dead" }, { "Year": 2013, "Video Game": "Dota 2" }, { "Year": 2014, "Video Game": "The Last of Us" }, { "Year": 2015, "Video Game": "The Witcher 3" }, { "Year": 2016, "Video Game": "Overwatch" }, { "Year": 2017, "Video Game": "Legend of Zelda" }, { "Year": 2018, "Video Game": "Minecraft" }, { "Year": 2019, "Video Game": "Resident Evil 2" }, { "Year": 2020, "Video Game": "Mortal Kombat 11" } ]

Create a Minified JSON from TSV

In this example, we transform TSV data into a minified JSON array. By disabling the option to convert headers into JSON keys, we obtain a bunch of arrays as output, where each array represents one tab-separated record. Additionally, we remove empty lines and comments from the input TSV data. The comments are removed because they start with the hash symbol "#", and we entered this symbol in the tool settings.

Name Department Position Alice Marketing Manager Bob HR Specialist Charlie Finance Analyst David IT Developer Emily Operations Coordinator #Micheal
[["Name","Department","Position"],["Alice","Marketing","Manager"],["Bob","HR","Specialist"],["Charlie","Finance","Analyst"],["David","IT","Developer"],["Emily","Operations","Coordinator"]]
Required options
These options will be used automatically if you select this example.
What character separates TSV columns? (Usually a tab "\t".)

Generate an associative JSON array where the headers from the first row of TSV are used as keys.

Skip empty TSV lines and exclude them from being converted to JSON.
Output the JSON as a single line (minified).
