How it works
How to use the JSON to TSV
Paste or open JSON
Paste your JSON, drop a file onto the editor, or load the sample.
Adjust the options
Nested objects are flattened into dotted columns, and values are separated by tabs so commas never need quoting.
Copy or download the TSV
The output updates as you type. Invalid input is highlighted with the exact line and column.
About JSON and TSV
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the standard format for web APIs and configuration: objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null.
TSV (tab-separated values) is like CSV but uses tabs, so commas inside values never need quoting. Spreadsheets paste it natively.
How the conversion works
Nested objects are flattened into dotted columns, and values are separated by tabs so commas never need quoting. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so even sensitive data never leaves your device.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is JSON to TSV conversion lossless?
TSV is flat, so nested structures are flattened into columns. Values themselves are preserved exactly.
Can I convert TSV back to JSON?
Yes — press Swap to reverse the direction, or open the TSV to JSON converter.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you paste or open is sent to a server, logged or stored. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
