About JSON to CSV Converter
**What is JSON to CSV Conversion?**
JSON arrays of objects convert naturally to tabular CSV format. Object keys become column headers, and each object becomes a row. This makes JSON data usable in Excel, Google Sheets, and database imports.
**Example Conversion:**
JSON Input:
[
{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"},
{"name": "Jane", "age": 25, "city": "Los Angeles"}
]
CSV Output:
name,age,city
John,30,New York
Jane,25,Los Angeles
**Use Cases:**
- Export API data to spreadsheets
- Prepare data for database import
- Convert web app data for reporting
- Migrate between data systems
- Create data exports for clients
**Handling Complex JSON:**
**Nested Objects:**
Nested properties are flattened with dot notation. {"user": {"name": "John"}} becomes a column named "user.name".
**Arrays:**
Array values can be joined as comma-separated strings or expanded into multiple rows, depending on your preference.
**Mixed Schemas:**
Objects with different properties are handled gracefully. Missing values become empty cells in the CSV.
**CSV Options:**
- Custom delimiter (comma, semicolon, tab)
- Quote all values or only when necessary
- Include or exclude headers
- Handle null values
