How do I convert a JSON file to TSV using this tool?

1. Upload or paste your JSON data into the input field. 2. Choose TSV as the output format. 3. Click the 'Convert' button. 4. Download the generated .tsv file. The tool automatically flattens nested objects and arrays into tabular columns, so you can open it in Excel or import into a database.

Why would I convert JSON to TSV instead of keeping JSON?

TSV is a tabular format that is directly compatible with spreadsheet applications like Excel, Google Sheets, and data analysis tools such as Tableau or SQL databases. JSON is hierarchical and best for complex nested data, but for flat tables TSV provides smaller file sizes and simpler row-level queries. It also makes diffing and version control in plain text much easier.

What happens to nested objects and arrays during JSON to TSV conversion?

Nested objects are flattened into column names using dot notation (e.g., address.city). Arrays are either expanded into multiple columns if they contain primitive values, or serialized as JSON strings in a single cell to preserve the original structure. Null values remain empty, while strings, numbers, and booleans are converted without precision loss.
