CSV to JSON Converter

Convert CSV data with headers into a JSON array of objects.

Spreadsheet exports and database dumps arrive as CSV; your code wants JSON. Splitting on commas works right up until a value contains a comma — then quoting rules, escaped quotes and stray Windows line endings turn a one-liner into a debugging session.

This converter parses CSV properly (RFC 4180: quoted fields, embedded commas and newlines, doubled quotes) and emits a pretty-printed JSON array of objects keyed by the header row. Paste from Excel or Google Sheets and get code-ready JSON instantly.

    Pretty-printed and ready for your code or API.

Frequently asked questions

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Forgetting the header row — the first line always becomes the object keys.
  • Duplicate header names — later columns overwrite earlier ones in each object.
