CSV ↔ JSON: what the result contains

Convert CSV and JSON data in either direction.

Rows and nested objects don’t have the same shape

CSV is flat and column-based; JSON can be nested. Straightforward records convert cleanly, while arrays or nested objects need a deliberate flattening convention before they can fit ordinary CSV columns.

Duplicate headers and uneven rows need care because tabular CSV and object-based JSON don't express structure in exactly the same way.

Where CSV ↔ JSON fits cleanly

One straightforward use is to turn spreadsheet exports into JSON for an application. Another is to convert JSON records into CSV for spreadsheet review. The common thread is that the input already contains the information the tool needs.

The point where CSV ↔ JSON stops helping

Keep JSON when hierarchy matters. Use CSV when the data is genuinely tabular and meant for spreadsheets or simple imports.
