Easily switch your data from a nested JSON format to a clean, tabular TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file. This free online JSON to TSV Converter is designed to handle your data conversion needs in just one click. No software, no hassle—just paste your code and get your data ready for any spreadsheet.
What is this JSON to TSV Converter?
This converter is a simple web-based utility built to solve a common data problem. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is fantastic for web APIs and storing complex, nested information, but it’s not ideal for data analysis in spreadsheet software. That’s where TSV (Tab-Separated Values) comes in. Our tool intelligently takes your structured JSON data—specifically looking for an array of objects—and “flattens” it into a simple, tabular format. The keys from your JSON objects become the headers (columns), and the values fill the rows, with each field separated by a tab. It’s the simplest way to make your JSON data ready for Excel, Google Sheets, or database imports.
How to Use This Tool
Using the converter is incredibly straightforward.
- Paste Your JSON: Copy your JSON code and paste it directly into the “JSON Input” text area on the left.
- Click Convert: Hit the blue “Convert to TSV” button.
- Get Your Output: The tool will instantly process the data and display the resulting tab-separated values in the “TSV Output” box.
- Copy or Download: From there, you can click “Copy TSV” to copy the data to your clipboard or “Download TSV” to save it as a
.tsvfile to your computer.
Example
Here’s a practical example of how the tool transforms your data.
JSON Input:
JSON
{
"data": {
"items": [
{ "ID": 1, "Name": "Product A", "Stock": 150 },
{ "ID": 2, "Name": "Product B", "Stock": 88 }
]
}
}
TSV Output: (Note: The space between columns here represents a Tab.)
ID Name Stock
1 Product A 150
2 Product B 88
