CSV parsing

Automatic detection with manual control

The parser detects comma, semicolon and tab delimiters, while a manual override handles known formats. Quoted delimiters, escaped quotes and multiline fields are preserved.

Headers and malformed rows

Use the first row as object keys or generate column names. Rows with inconsistent field counts, duplicate headers or unclosed quotes produce clear location-aware diagnostics.

JSON output

Strings by default, safe inference when requested

Every cell remains a string unless primitive inference is enabled. Exact booleans, null and safe numbers are converted while padded identifiers and unsafe integers remain strings.

Focused and local

Preview up to 100 rows, then copy or download the complete JSON array. No data is saved or sent to a server.

FAQs

CSV-to-JSON questions

Can CSV fields contain commas or line breaks?

Yes. Wrap the field in double quotes and escape an embedded quote by doubling it.

What happens without a header row?

The converter generates column1, column2 and subsequent keys so the first row remains data.
