• Database Import: Import CSV files into MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other databases
• Data Sharing: Share data with non-technical team members
• Backup: Create human-readable backups of JSON data

Key Features

• Nested Object Flattening: Automatically converts nested JSON to flat columns
• Array Handling: Converts JSON arrays to string representation
• Special Character Escaping: Properly handles quotes, commas, and newlines
• File Upload: Upload JSON files directly from your computer

Handling Nested JSON Objects

Our converter automatically flattens nested JSON structures using dot notation. For example:

Input JSON:
{
  "user": {
    "name": "John",
    "address": {
      "city": "New York"
    }
  }
}

Output CSV Columns:
user.name, user.address.city

Best Practices

• Use JSON arrays for multi-row CSV output
• Ensure consistent object structure for clean columns
• Choose semicolon delimiter for European Excel versions
• Validate JSON before conversion to avoid errors
• Check CSV output in text editor before opening in Excel
