JSON to Markdown

JSON is the interchange format of APIs and programs, but anyone wanting to show data in a README, a wiki, a pull request or a note needs a table that can be read. GitHub-style Markdown tables do exactly that. This tool takes your JSON array of objects and writes a clean pipe table you can paste straight in.

The conversion runs entirely locally in your browser, in pure JavaScript. The columns are the union of all object keys, so records with differing fields are still represented in full; each entry of the array becomes a table row. Pipe characters inside a value are escaped and line breaks within a cell are flattened so the table stays valid. An object that wraps an array is also recognised.

Honest about the limits: a nested object or array in a cell is shown as compact JSON, not fanned out into further columns - flat records make the nicest table. An array of plain values without keys gets a neutral header of A, B, C and so on, because a Markdown table needs a header row. Nothing is uploaded.

Limitations: Expects a JSON array of objects (or an object wrapping such an array). The columns are the union of all keys, each entry becomes a table row. Pipe characters are escaped, line breaks within cells are flattened. Nested objects or arrays in a cell appear as compact JSON. An array of plain values gets a neutral A/B/C header.
