Example CSV to JSON conversion

name,age
Roby,29
Budi,31
[
  {
    "name": "Roby",
    "age": "29"
  },
  {
    "name": "Budi",
    "age": "31"
  }
]

Headers, rows, and privacy

Duplicate headers, empty headers, unclosed quotes, and malformed rows produce specific errors. The first release keeps CSV values as strings rather than guessing number, boolean, or null types.

The CSV parser runs locally. Input rows, headers, and JSON output are not sent to a server, logged, or stored in localStorage.

Frequently asked questions

Does the first CSV row become JSON keys?

Yes. The first row is treated as headers, and each following row becomes one JSON object with those header names.

What delimiters are supported?

The converter can auto-detect comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe delimiters. You can also select one manually.

How are malformed rows handled?

Rows with a different number of values than the header row show a clear error instead of generating partial JSON.
