How to Convert HTML Table to JSON - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your HTML Table

Let's get your HTML table into the converter! You have several convenient options:

•
Paste directly: Copy your HTML table and paste it into the input editor
•
Upload a file: Click "Upload" to select an .html or .htm file containing a table
•
Try the sample: Click "Sample" to load an example HTML table and see the conversion

Example: HTML Table Input

Here's a typical HTML table:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Department</th>
      <th>Salary</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Sarah Johnson</td>
      <td>Engineering</td>
      <td>$95,000</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
Step 2

Automatic Table Data Extraction

The conversion happens instantly! As soon as you input HTML table, the tool automatically:

•
Extracts table headers: Identifies column names from thead or first row
•
Converts rows to objects: Each table row becomes a JSON object with headers as keys
•
Creates JSON array: Outputs a clean array of objects ready for use in APIs and databases
•
Preserves data integrity: Maintains all cell values and handles empty cells gracefully

Example: JSON Array Output

The table data converted to a clean JSON array:

[
  {
    "Name": "Sarah Johnson",
    "Department": "Engineering",
    "Salary": "$95,000"
  },
  {
    "Name": "Michael Chen",
    "Department": "Marketing",
    "Salary": "$78,000"
  },
  {
    "Name": "Emily Rodriguez",
    "Department": "Sales",
    "Salary": "$82,000"
  }
]
Step 3

Export Your JSON Data

Get your converted JSON ready for use! Multiple export options make it easy to integrate into your workflow:

•
Copy to clipboard: One-click copying for quick pasting into your code editor or application
•
Download as file: Save as a .json file for later use or sharing with your team
•
Real-time validation: Green checkmark confirms your JSON is valid and ready to use

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert HTML tables to JSON?

Converting HTML tables to JSON makes it easier to use the data in APIs, databases, and applications. JSON arrays are the standard format for data exchange, making your table data immediately usable in any modern application.

What format does the JSON output use?

The output is a JSON array where each row becomes an object. Column headers become the object keys, and cell values become the values. This is the standard format used by most APIs and databases.

Does it work with tables that have no thead?

Yes! If your table doesn't have a thead section, the converter will use the first row as headers. It automatically detects the table structure and extracts data accordingly.

Can I use the JSON output in my application?

Absolutely! The output is standard JSON format that works in any programming language. Use it in JavaScript, Python, PHP, Java, or any other language. Perfect for APIs, databases, and data processing.

What if my HTML contains multiple tables?

The converter will process the first table it finds in your HTML. If you need to convert multiple tables, simply paste each table separately or extract the specific table you want to convert.

Is the HTML table to JSON converter completely free?

Yes, totally free with no limitations on table size, usage frequency, or features. No registration required, and you can convert unlimited HTML tables with clean JSON array output.
