JSON to CSV Converter

API responses, log dumps and exports arrive as JSON; spreadsheets want rows and columns. DataTray flattens the structure into a table on your own machine — which matters, because the JSON people need to convert is usually the JSON they should not be pasting into a web form.

Drop in your filesCSV output is UTF-8 with a BOM by default, so it opens in Excel in columns rather than as mojibake.

Why convert

The problem with online JSON converters

JSON is what systems talk in, so a JSON file is very often an API response containing customer records, tokens or internal identifiers. Every free online converter asks you to paste exactly that into a text box on someone else's server. Doing it locally removes the question entirely.

  • Getting an API response into a spreadsheet somebody can read.
  • Flattening nested objects into columns without writing a script.
  • Converting an NDJSON log dump into something sortable.
  • Handling a JSON file far too large to paste into a web tool.

How it works

Convert JSON to CSV in a few clicks

  1. 1

    Drop in the JSON

    A JSON array, a nested object, NDJSON or JSONL — DataTray works out which it is.

  2. 2

    Check the flattening

    Nested keys become dotted column names and arrays are expanded, with a preview before anything is written.

  3. 3

    Export the CSV

    Excel-ready by default, or switch the encoding and delimiter in one click if it is going to a script.
