CSV to JSON Converter Online
Convert CSV files or spreadsheet data to JSON arrays instantly. Supports headers, quoted fields, and custom delimiters.
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is the most common export format for spreadsheets, databases, and data pipelines. Converting CSV to JSON lets you use the data in APIs, JavaScript apps, or NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Firestore.
When to Convert CSV to JSON
- Loading spreadsheet data into a web application or API
- Importing data from Excel or Google Sheets into MongoDB or Firebase
- Feeding CSV exports from analytics tools into a data pipeline
- Preparing seed data for development databases
Example
Input (CSV with headers):
id,name,email,role,active
1,Rohith,rohith@example.com,admin,true
2,Priya,priya@example.com,user,false
3,Arjun,arjun@example.com,user,true
Output (JSON):
[
{ "id": "1", "name": "Rohith", "email": "rohith@example.com", "role": "admin", "active": "true" },
{ "id": "2", "name": "Priya", "email": "priya@example.com", "role": "user", "active": "false" },
{ "id": "3", "name": "Arjun", "email": "arjun@example.com", "role": "user", "active": "true" }
]
CSV Formats Supported
- **Standard CSV** — comma-separated with a header row
- **TSV** — tab-separated values (common in database exports)
- **Quoted fields** — fields with commas inside quotes: `"Smith, John"`
- **No header** — generates `col1, col2, col3...` keys automatically
Tips
- The first row is treated as the header (column names become JSON keys)
- All values are strings by default — use a schema or post-process to cast types
- Empty cells become empty strings `""` in JSON
Paste your CSV directly into DevConvert and select JSON as the output format.
