What is JSON to CSV?
A tool that instantly converts JSON format data to CSV format. Automatically transforms complex hierarchical JSON into flat CSV tables that are easy to work with in Excel or Google Spreadsheets.
Streamlines development and data analysis tasks such as analyzing API responses, processing datasets, and transferring data between systems.
How to Use

Conversion Options
With Header
- Enabled (Default) - JSON key names are output as headers in the first row, making data content easier to understand
- Disabled - Only data is output without header rows
Use Cases
- API response analysis - Convert JSON data from REST APIs to CSV for analysis
- Data cleansing - Transform complex JSON structures into organized CSV format
- Cross-system data migration - Easily convert data between different formats
- Report generation - Quickly create CSV reports from JSON data
- Debugging support - Transform complex JSON data into a more visually comprehensible format
How Conversion Works
JSON to CSV conversion follows these steps:
- Each JSON object corresponds to one CSV row
- Nested objects are expanded using dot notation like "parent.child"
- Arrays are expressed as comma-separated values or expanded into multiple rows
- Each key becomes a column name (header) in the CSV
