CSV to JSON

Convert CSV data to a JSON array of objects, instantly in your browser.

How to use the CSV to JSON

  1. Paste your CSV data, including the header row if it has one.
  2. If the first row is data rather than column names, tick "First row is not a header".
  3. Click Run to get a JSON array, then copy it into your code or API request.

How the CSV to JSON works

The converter parses the CSV following standard RFC 4180 rules: fields are separated by commas, and a field wrapped in double quotes can contain commas, line breaks and escaped quotes (""). Each row becomes a JSON object whose keys come from the header row.

Without a header, the tool generates column names automatically. All values are output as strings, because CSV has no data types; convert numbers or booleans in your code if you need them typed.
