All Directions, One Tool

Switch between any combination of JSON, CSV, XML, YAML, TOML, TSV and Properties without jumping between different tools or tabs.

Fine-Tuned Options

Control delimiters, headers, null handling, XML tag names and indentation so the output matches exactly what your pipeline expects.

Instant and Private

Every conversion runs directly in your browser using native JS. Nothing is uploaded, logged or sent anywhere. Paste, convert, done.

Guide

How to Convert Your Data

1

Pick Your Formats

Choose the source format from the left dropdown and the target format from the right one. The tool automatically shows only valid conversion pairs.

2

Paste Your Input

Drop your data into the editor or click Load Sample to start with a working example. The format is detected automatically from your selection.

3

Tweak the Options

Open the Options panel to adjust things like the CSV delimiter, whether to include headers, the XML root tag name or the indentation width.

4

Copy or Download

Grab the result with one click or download it as a file with the correct extension. You can also swap the output back into the input to chain conversions.

Use Cases

Who Uses This

Backend Developers

Turn database query results into JSON for your API, convert config files between formats, or wrangle data for a migration script.

Data Analysts

Get CSV exports into JSON for processing, or flatten nested JSON from an API into a spreadsheet-ready format without writing a single line of code.

DevOps Engineers

Convert YAML configs for Kubernetes, Docker Compose or Ansible into TOML or JSON when your toolchain demands a different format.

Java Developers

Go between JSON and .properties files for Spring Boot or Android projects, with dot-notation keys generated and parsed correctly.

Technical Writers

Turn structured data into readable formats for documentation, or clean up messy exports from content management systems before publishing.

Students and Learners

A good way to understand how different data formats relate to each other. Paste valid JSON and see exactly what the same data looks like as YAML or TOML.

One converter for all the formats you actually work with

Data conversion sounds simple until you are stuck between formats at 11pm before a deploy. This tool covers the combinations that come up in real projects: JSON to CSV for a spreadsheet export, YAML to TOML when switching config systems, Properties to JSON when modernizing a Java app. Every conversion runs locally in your browser with no round-trips to any server, so your data stays private and the tool works even without a network connection.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

JSON converts to CSV, XML, YAML, TOML, TSV and Properties. CSV converts to JSON, XML, YAML and TSV. XML converts to JSON, CSV, YAML and TSV. YAML converts to JSON, CSV, XML, TOML and Properties. TOML converts to JSON, YAML and Properties. Properties converts to JSON, YAML and TOML.
No. Every conversion is performed by JavaScript running in your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, stored or logged anywhere. You can even use this tool offline once the page has loaded.
JSON is the standard format for API responses and configuration data, but many business tools: spreadsheet applications, BI dashboards, and database import tools: work with CSV as their primary input format. Converting a JSON array of records to CSV lets you open the data directly in Excel or Google Sheets. For validating that your JSON is syntactically correct before converting it, use the JSON Validator first, then format and inspect the structure, and finally convert to your target format.
YAML and JSON represent the same data structures but with different syntax. YAML is more human-readable, supports comments (which JSON does not), and is the preferred format for configuration files in Kubernetes, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, and Ansible. Converting between JSON and YAML is lossless in both directions. For a complete formatting and validation step before converting, the JSON Formatter lets you inspect and clean up your JSON first.
Yes. The TOML parser handles arrays of tables using the [[section]] syntax, dotted keys, inline tables and inline arrays. The output is standard JSON that preserves the structure exactly.
When converting from JSON, nested objects are flattened using dot notation so a key like database.host.port becomes a single property line. When parsing .properties back to JSON, dotted keys are reconstructed into a nested object automatically.
