How to Convert JSON to Table - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your JSON Data

Alright, let's get your JSON into the converter! You've got three super easy options here:

Just paste it in: Got some JSON from an API call or database? Just copy and paste it into the left editor. Easy peasy! 🍰
Upload a file: Have a .json file sitting on your computer? Click that upload button and select it. Works with .txt files too!
Not sure? Try the sample: Click "Sample" to load some example data and see the magic happen. Perfect for testing things out! ✨

Example: Try This Simple JSON

Copy and paste this JSON example to see how it works: 😊

{
  "name": "Alex Johnson",
  "email": "alex@company.com",
  "age": 28,
  "department": "Engineering",
  "active": true
}
Step 2

See Automatic Table Generation

Here's where things get cool! 🎉 The moment you paste or type JSON, the tool springs into action. No "convert" button to click, no waiting around - it just works! Here's what happens behind the scenes:

Real-time conversion: See your table update instantly as you modify the JSON
Nested structure handling: Complex nested objects and arrays are automatically organized into readable tables
Error detection: Invalid JSON is highlighted with helpful error messages and suggestions

Single Object → Key-Value Table

Input JSON (single object):

{
  "name": "Alex Johnson",
  "email": "alex@company.com",
  "age": 28,
  "department": "Engineering",
  "active": true
}

Output table (key-value pairs): ✨

keyvalue
nameAlex Johnson
emailalex@company.com
age28
departmentEngineering
activetrue

Array of Objects → Column-Based Table

Input JSON (array of objects):

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "product": "Laptop",
    "price": 999.99,
    "category": "Electronics",
    "inStock": true
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "product": "Mouse",
    "price": 29.99,
    "category": "Accessories",
    "inStock": false
  },
  {
    "id": 3,
    "product": "Monitor",
    "price": 299.50,
    "category": "Electronics",
    "inStock": true
  },
  {
    "id": 4,
    "product": "Keyboard",
    "price": 79.99,
    "category": "Accessories",
    "inStock": true
  }
]

Output table (column-based): 🎉

idproductpricecategoryinStock
1Laptop999.99Electronicstrue
2Mouse29.99Accessoriesfalse
3Monitor299.50Electronicstrue
4Keyboard79.99Accessoriestrue

Perfect for spreadsheet-like data! Arrays become columns automatically.

Step 3

Customize and Filter Your Table

Now we're getting to the fun stuff! 🎮 Once your table is generated, you've got some pretty neat tricks up your sleeve:

Filter data: Use the search box to find specific rows or values in your table
Filter data: Use the search box to quickly find specific data within your tables
Maximize view: Click "Maximize" for fullscreen table view when working with large datasets

Example: Nested Objects → Tables Within Tables

Try this nested JSON:

{
  "company": "TechCorp Inc",
  "employees": [
    {
      "id": 101,
      "name": "Sarah Wilson",
      "department": "Engineering",
      "contact": {
        "email": "sarah@techcorp.com",
        "phone": "+1-555-0123",
        "address": {
          "street": "123 Main St",
          "city": "San Francisco",
          "state": "CA"
        }
      },
      "projects": [
        {
          "name": "Mobile App",
          "status": "active",
          "budget": 50000
        },
        {
          "name": "Website Redesign",
          "status": "completed",
          "budget": 25000
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "totalEmployees": 150
}

Creates nested tables:

keyvalue

Projects:

Website Redesign (completed) - $25,000
totalEmployees150

* Nested objects and arrays appear as sub-tables within cells

Step 4: Edit Data Directly in the Table

This is where things get really handy! 🛠️ Want to tweak your data but don't want to mess with the JSON directly? We've got you covered:

Enable edit mode: Click the "Edit" button to activate cell editing
Edit cells: Click any cell to modify its value - the JSON updates automatically
Remove columns: In edit mode, click the trash icon next to column headers to remove unwanted data

Example: Edit Mode in Action

When you click "Edit" and then click on a cell, you can change values directly. For example, change John's department from "Engineering" to "Marketing" and watch the JSON update automatically! 🪄

💡 Pro tip: Use edit mode to clean up data, fix typos, or remove sensitive information before sharing.

Step 5: Export and Share Your Results

Time to take your beautifully organized data and do something with it! 🚀 Here are your options for getting it out of here:

Excel export: Click "Excel" to download a .xls file that preserves nested table structures
Share with team: Click "Share" to generate a link that others can use to view your JSON data
Copy updated JSON: After editing, copy the modified JSON from the left editor for use in your applications

Example: Real API Response

Perfect for complex API responses like this e-commerce order data: 🔥

{
  "orders": [
    {
      "orderId": "ORD-2024-001",
      "customer": "Tech Solutions Inc",
      "amount": 1299.99,
      "status": "shipped",
      "items": ["Laptop", "Mouse", "Keyboard"]
    },
    {
      "orderId": "ORD-2024-002",
      "customer": "Digital Marketing Co",
      "amount": 599.50,
      "status": "processing",
      "items": ["Monitor", "Webcam"]
    }
  ],
  "totalRevenue": 1899.49,
  "orderCount": 2
}
This creates: Main table with key-value pairs + "orders" cell contains a sub-table with order details + "items" arrays shown as comma-separated values

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert JSON to a table?

Simply paste your JSON data into the input area or upload a JSON file. The tool instantly converts it to a readable table format. For nested JSON objects and arrays, it creates sub-tables within cells to maintain the data structure.
