    CSV is the classic table format, JSON the language of modern APIs and web apps. Turning a CSV into JSON is the most common first step to process table data in a program, database or frontend - each row becomes an object, and the header row provides the keys.

    This tool parses your CSV entirely locally in your browser (papaparse, pure JavaScript) and outputs a JSON array. By default the first row is used as the column header, so each data row becomes an object with named fields. Numbers are detected as numbers. Nothing is uploaded.

    You can use it to feed a test dataset to an interface, fill a mock database or supply configuration rows to a frontend. A practical note: leading zeros of a postal code or article number can vanish during automatic typing, because the text then becomes a number. If that matters, treat the affected columns deliberately as a string before processing further.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop or pick your CSV file.
    2. Choose header row and formatting (optional).
    3. Download the JSON file.

    Limitations: The delimiter is auto-detected (comma/semicolon/tab). Without the header option each row becomes an array instead of an object. Numbers are auto-typed; leading zeros may be lost. Very large files need memory.

    FAQ

    Is my file uploaded?

    No. The conversion runs entirely locally in the browser - nothing is sent.

    Is the first row used as the header?

    By default yes - the column names become the object keys. Switchable via the option.

    Which delimiter is supported?

    Comma, semicolon and tab are auto-detected.

    Are numbers detected as numbers?

    Yes, numeric values are output as numbers in the JSON rather than as text. Be careful with postal codes, phone numbers or article numbers: leading zeros are lost in this typing (01067 becomes 1067). Best give such columns a quick check in the result.
