What is CSV to JSON Conversion?
CSV to JSON conversion transforms Comma-Separated Values (CSV) data into JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. Each row in the CSV becomes a JSON object, and each column becomes a property of that object.
This tool features:
- Auto-detect delimiter — Automatically detects commas, semicolons, tabs, or pipes.
- Header row support — Uses the first row as object keys, or generates generic
column_1,column_2, etc. - Number detection — Automatically converts numeric strings to numbers.
- RFC 4180 compliant — Handles quoted fields, escaped quotes, and multiline values.
How to Use
- Paste your CSV — Copy and paste any CSV data into the input textarea. You can also click Load Example to load sample data.
- Choose settings — Select the delimiter (or leave as Auto-detect) and toggle whether the first row should be used as header names.
- Convert — Click Convert to JSON to generate the JSON output. The tool handles proper escaping and number detection automatically.
- Copy or download — Use the copy button on the output area or click Download .json to save the result as a file.
Frequently Asked Questions
What CSV formats are supported?
This tool supports standard CSV (RFC 4180) with commas, semicolons, tabs, or pipe delimiters. It handles quoted fields, escaped double-quotes (""), and multiline values within quotes.
How are numbers handled?
Values that look like numbers (e.g., 42, 3.14) are automatically converted to numeric types in JSON. Text values remain as strings. If you need all values as strings, wrap them in quotes in your CSV.
Is this tool safe for sensitive data?
Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your CSV data is never uploaded to any server, stored in any database, or logged. This makes it safe for converting sensitive data like customer lists or financial records.
