CSV to JSON converterParse CSV text (with header row) into a JSON array of objects, handling quoted fields. Drop a file in rather than pasting it — it is read in your browser and never uploaded.Flatten / unflatten JSONFlatten a nested JSON object into one level of path keys — and put it back together again. Arrays are indexed as user.roles[0] or user.roles.0, values keep their type, and an empty object stays visible as {}. Takes a whole file, so a long log does not have to go through the clipboard.JSON formatter, minifier and validatorFormat, beautify or minify JSON — with instant validation.JSON keys extractorList all the keys of a JSON object as dot-notation paths. Works on a pasted block or on a file you drop in.JSON Schema generatorTurn a sample of JSON into a JSON Schema. Paste an object, an array or newline-delimited records and it infers the types, properties and array shapes, merges the fields seen across objects into a required list, and recognises common string formats — email, URL, UUID, date and date-time — across Draft 2020-12, 2019-09 or Draft-07.JSON key sorterSort the keys of a JSON object alphabetically at every level. Arrays keep their order, values keep their exact form — even a 20-digit id — and a syntax error says where it is. Paste the text or drop the file; nothing leaves the page either way.JSON to CSV converterTurn a JSON array of objects into comma-separated values with a header row. Takes a whole file, so a long log does not have to go through the clipboard.JSON ↔ .env converterConvert a JSON object to .env format and back.

Frequently asked questions

What does JSON comment remover do?

Strip // and /* */ comments from JSONC to make it valid JSON. Drop a file in rather than pasting it — it is read in your browser and never uploaded.

When would I actually use this?

Making a machine-generated blob readable, finding the character where a parse fails, and shrinking a file before it ships.

What is the most common mistake?

Assuming valid means correct. A document can parse cleanly and still have the wrong shape for whatever will read it — validation checks the syntax, not the schema.

How is JSON comment remover different from CSV to JSON converter?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions. CSV to JSON converter: parse CSV text (with header row) into a JSON array of objects, handling quoted fields. Drop a file in rather than pasting it — it is read in your browser and never uploaded. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Flatten / unflatten JSON is the closest one after this: Flatten a nested JSON object into one level of path keys — and put it back together again. Arrays are indexed as user.roles[0] or user.roles.0, values keep their type, and an empty object stays visible as {}. Takes a whole file, so a long log does not have to go through the clipboard.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

JSON formatter, minifier and validator and JSON keys extractor — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Parsing and serialisation follow each format's specification. Key order and whitespace are not semantically meaningful in JSON or YAML, so a reformatted document is equivalent even when the bytes differ.
