How it works

The first line is treated as column headers. Each following line becomes one JSON object, with each column's value matched to its header name. Fields wrapped in double quotes (needed when a value itself contains a comma) are handled correctly, including an escaped "" for a literal quote inside a quoted field.

Common uses

  • Turning a spreadsheet export into JSON for use in code or an API request
  • Quickly inspecting CSV data in a more structured, readable format

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle commas inside a field?

Yes — wrap that field in double quotes in your CSV (e.g. "Boston, MA") and it will be treated as one value, not split into two.

What if my CSV doesn't have a header row?

The first line is always treated as headers. If your data doesn't have one, add a temporary header row (like col1,col2,col3) before pasting it in.
