Data conversion

Convert JSON data to a spreadsheet

Validate the JSON, confirm it is an array of objects, flatten only what you understand, then copy CSV output.

Goal: Move a small API response or export into spreadsheet-friendly CSV.

Workflow steps

  1. Step 1

    Validate the input

    Start with JSON Validator so the converter does not receive malformed data.

  2. Step 2

    Check the top-level shape

    JSON to CSV works best when the top-level value is an array of similar objects.

  3. Step 3

    Decide how to handle nested data

    Nested arrays and objects may need flattening rules. Do not export private nested fields accidentally.

  4. Step 4

    Convert and review columns

    After conversion, scan headers and sample rows before sharing the CSV.

Real examples

Good input shape

[{"id":1,"email":"ada@example.com"},{"id":2,"email":"grace@example.com"}]

CSV output

id,email
1,ada@example.com
2,grace@example.com

Common pitfalls

Trying to convert a single object instead of an array.

Flattening nested data without reviewing fields.

Assuming CSV preserves JSON value types.
