About the Handiwork CSV ⇄ JSON Converter
The CSV ⇄ JSON Converter transforms CSV (spreadsheet) data into JSON and JSON back into CSV, with support for custom delimiters. It bridges the gap between spreadsheets and APIs, making it easy to move data between Excel, databases, and code.
How to use the Handiwork CSV ⇄ JSON Converter
- Choose the direction: CSV to JSON or JSON to CSV.
- Paste your data and set the delimiter if needed.
- Copy the converted output.
CSV and JSON, side by side
CSV is a simple, row-and-column format that spreadsheets and many data exports use, while JSON is the structured format APIs and JavaScript prefer. Converting between them lets you import a spreadsheet into an application, or export API results into a sheet for analysis.
Custom delimiters
Although CSV stands for comma-separated values, real-world files often use semicolons, tabs, or pipes — especially exports from European locales. Setting the correct delimiter ensures your columns are parsed correctly rather than merged into one field.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert JSON back to CSV?
Yes. The converter works both ways — turn CSV into JSON for your app, or flatten JSON into CSV for a spreadsheet.
Does it support semicolon or tab delimiters?
Yes. You can set a custom delimiter so files that use semicolons, tabs, or other separators are parsed correctly.
