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.

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.
