What JSON format does this tool expect?

The tool expects a JSON array of objects — e.g. [{"name":"Alice","age":30},{"name":"Bob","age":25}]. All objects should share the same keys for the best results. The header row is derived from the keys of the first object.

What happens with nested objects or arrays?

Nested values (objects or arrays) are serialized as compact JSON strings inside the TSV cell. You can then parse them further inside your spreadsheet if needed.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device.

Why use TSV instead of CSV?

TSV uses a tab character as delimiter, which rarely appears in data. This avoids the quoting complexity that CSV requires for values containing commas. Most spreadsheet apps import TSV as easily as CSV.

Can I choose which columns to include?

Yes. After parsing, each column header has a checkbox so you can include or exclude individual columns before copying or downloading.

What if some objects are missing keys?

Missing keys produce an empty cell for that column. The full list of columns is taken from the first object in the array.

Summary

This tool converts a JSON array of objects into Tab-Separated Values (TSV) format in your browser — no data is ever sent to a server. Paste your JSON, choose options, and download or copy the TSV output instantly. TSV files are universally accepted by Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and most data-processing pipelines.

How it works

Paste or type a JSON array of objects into the input field.
The tool reads the keys from the first object to build the header row.
Each object in the array becomes a row; values are tab-separated.
Nested objects or arrays are serialized to a compact JSON string in the cell.
Click Copy TSV or Download .tsv to get your output.

Use cases

Import API response data directly into Google Sheets or Excel.
Convert a JSON data export from a web app to a spreadsheet format.
Prepare tab-separated data for database bulk import.
Share structured data with non-technical teammates who use spreadsheets.
Transform log files or analytics exports stored as JSON into TSV.
Quickly inspect a JSON array as a flat table without writing code.
