What is a CSV to JSON Converter?
Spreadsheets export CSV; APIs and code want JSON. The conversion looks trivial until quoted fields with commas and line breaks appear — which naive split-on-comma converters mangle.
This converter implements real CSV parsing (RFC 4180 quoting rules), supports comma/semicolon/tab/pipe delimiters, and maps the header row to object keys.
How to use the CSV to JSON Converter
- Paste your CSV.
- Pick the delimiter and whether the first row is the header.
- Click Convert and copy the JSON.
Frequently asked questions
How are quoted fields handled?
Per the CSV standard: quotes may contain commas and line breaks, and doubled quotes ("") are a literal quote character.
What if my file is semicolon-separated?
European Excel exports often use semicolons — pick the delimiter in the dropdown.
What if there is no header row?
Untick the header option and you get an array of row arrays instead of objects.
Is my data uploaded?
No — parsing is local, safe for customer exports.
