This converter transforms your JSON data into a Comma Separated Values (CSV) format. It's ideal for converting structured data into a tabular format suitable for spreadsheets or databases.
Key Features:
**Flattening Nested Objects:** Nested JSON objects (e.g., `{"address": {"street": "Main St"}}`) are flattened into dot-notation columns (`address.street`).
**Array Handling:** Simple arrays are stringified. Arrays of objects will attempt to flatten with index notation (e.g., `item[0].name`).
**Custom Delimiter:** Choose between comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe to suit your CSV import needs.
**Header Inclusion:** Optionally include the first row as column headers, automatically derived from all unique keys in your JSON data.
Best Practices & Limitations:
For best results, provide JSON as an **array of objects** (`[{"key": "value"}, {"key": "value"}]`).
CSV is a flat format; complex nested JSON structures might not translate perfectly without manual adjustment or specific rules.
JSON keys are used as column headers. If keys are inconsistent across objects, all unique keys will form the headers.
Large JSON files may take longer to process client-side.

CSV to JSON Guide
This tool converts your Comma Separated Values (CSV) data into JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). This is useful for importing tabular data into web applications, APIs, or NoSQL databases.
Key Features:
**Dynamic Header Parsing:** The first row of your CSV is automatically used as JSON object keys.
**Custom Delimiter:** Supports various delimiters including comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe.
**Type Inference:** Automatically detects and converts string values to numbers or boolean (`true`/`false`) if applicable.
**Nested Object Creation:** If your CSV headers use dot notation (e.g., `user.name`), the converter will create nested JSON objects.
**Quoted Value Handling:** Correctly parses CSV values enclosed in double quotes, including escaped double quotes (`""`).
Best Practices & Limitations:
Ensure your CSV has a header row if you want meaningful JSON keys.
The converter processes row by row; if a row has a different number of columns than the header, it will be skipped (with a console warning).
Type inference is a heuristic and might not always guess the correct type for all data, especially for mixed data types in a column.
Complex CSV structures without clear headers for nesting may result in flatter JSON than desired.

XML to JSON Guide
This converter transforms XML data into JSON format, providing a flexible way to represent hierarchical XML structures in a more common data exchange format for web services and APIs.
Key Features:
**Attribute Prefixing:** Option to prefix XML attributes (e.g., `id="1"`) with `'@'` in JSON (`"@id": "1"`).
**Text Content Key:** Define a special key (e.g., `'#text'`) for text content within elements that also have attributes or child elements.
**Automatic Array Detection:** Intelligent detection of repeating XML elements (e.g., multiple `` tags) to be represented as JSON arrays.
**Error Handling:** Basic error detection for invalid XML input.
Best Practices & Limitations:
Ensure your XML is well-formed (valid syntax). Ill-formed XML will cause parsing errors.
This converter simplifies complex XML features like namespaces, processing instructions, and comments, which will be ignored in the JSON output.
The interpretation of XML to JSON can vary; adjust options like attribute prefix and text key to match your desired output structure.
Mixed content (text and elements within a single XML tag) is handled more predictably if you enable the 'Use #text for Text Content' option.

JSON to XML Guide
This converter transforms JSON data into XML format, useful for systems that require XML input or for converting data for legacy applications and services.
Key Features:
**Custom Root Element:** Define the name of the top-level XML element to wrap your JSON data.
**Pretty Printing:** Option to format the XML output with indentation for improved readability.
**Attribute Handling:** JSON properties starting with `'@'` (e.g., `"@id": "1"`) are converted into XML attributes.
**Text Content Handling:** JSON properties with the key `'#text'` are treated as the inner text content of the XML element.
**Array to Repeating Elements:** JSON arrays are converted into multiple XML elements with the same tag name, reflecting common XML array patterns.
Best Practices & Limitations:
Ensure your JSON is valid. Invalid JSON will cause conversion errors.
XML elements cannot start with numbers or special characters. JSON keys that are not valid XML tag names will be converted to safe names or might cause issues.
The conversion from JSON (schema-less) to XML (often schema-driven) is an interpretation. Not all JSON structures have a direct, intuitive XML equivalent.
For attributes, ensure the key in JSON strictly follows the `'@attributeName'` format for proper conversion.
This tool does not handle XML namespaces or complex XML schema requirements.
