CSV to JSON Converter
Convert CSV data to JSON online with header mapping and smart type detection, no upload needed
CSV to JSON Tips
- With the header option on, the first row becomes object keys and every other row becomes an object.
- Type detection turns 42 into a number, true/false into booleans, and empty cells into null - turn it off to keep everything as strings.
- Quoted fields may contain commas, quotes (doubled), and even line breaks - all handled per RFC 4180.
- Auto-detect counts commas, semicolons, and tabs in the first line and picks the most common one.

Worked examples
Example: an Australian record can use "currency": "AUD" and the ISO date "2026-10-11" for 11 October 2026. JSON numeric values still use a dot. A formatter changes presentation, not the meaning of dates or amounts.

Common questions about Csv To Json formatting answered
Example: an Australian record can use "currency": "AUD" and the ISO date "2026-10-11" for 11 October 2026. JSON numeric values still use a dot. A formatter changes presentation, not the meaning of dates or amounts.
A date written as 11 October 2026 is clearer across regions when stored as 2026-10-11. Keep display formatting separate from machine-readable values, and state the currency and units rather than relying on a symbol alone.
Yes, completely free with no registration. All parsing happens locally in your browser.
Yes, as long as the field is quoted per RFC 4180. The parser correctly handles embedded commas, doubled quotes (""), and multi-line quoted fields - things that break naive split() approaches.
Yes. Turn off the "First row is the header" option and every row - including the first - is emitted as a plain array of strings.
Values that parse as finite numbers become JSON numbers, the exact strings true and false become booleans, and empty cells become null. Any other value stays a string. Disable the option to keep every value as a string.
Yes. Leave the delimiter on auto-detect (it counts candidate delimiters in the first line) or select semicolon or tab manually.
Each column is scanned: all-numeric → number, true/false → boolean, empty string → null, everything else → string. Type inference is per-column, not per-cell, so a column stays homogeneous - "007" in an ID column of strings remains a string, avoiding the classic spreadsheet leading-zero loss.
Yes - headerless mode names columns c1, c2, c3. This covers machine-generated exports where the schema lives elsewhere, and legacy files whose header row is actually the first data record.
RFC 4180 quoting is honored: a quoted field may contain commas, newlines, and doubled quotes, and the parser keeps them intact in the JSON string. Malformed rows (unbalanced quotes) are reported with line numbers instead of silently truncating the field.
