Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does it handle headers?

Yes, the converter assumes the first row of your CSV contains headers (keys) and uses them to generate the property names in the JSON objects.

What about nested data?

Standard CSV is flat. This tool converts each row into a flat JSON object. If you need nested JSON from CSV, custom parsing scripts are usually required.

Can I convert JSON back to CSV?
