How do I convert a JSON file to CONF format?

Upload your JSON file or paste its content into the converter. Select your preferred CONF style: flat key-value pairs or INI-like sections. Set the nesting delimiter (default: dot) and an array index fallback. Click 'Convert' to generate a .conf file and download it instantly.

Why convert JSON to CONF instead of keeping JSON?

Many system tools, init scripts, and older applications require a simple CONF format with key=value lines. CONF has no nested brackets or quotes, making it easier for shell scripts to parse. It also reduces file size when JSON contains heavy syntactic overhead, and it's human-readable for quick configuration tweaks.

What happens to nested objects, arrays, and data types during conversion?

Nested objects are flattened using a separator (e.g., 'database.host=localhost'). Arrays become indexed keys like 'servers.0.host=web1' or repeat the key for each element if enabled. Numbers, booleans, and strings are kept as plain text without quotes. Null values are omitted or set to an empty string, depending on your configuration.
