Excel/CSV to JSON Converter

Convert Excel & CSV to JSON: The Developer's Best Friend

In the modern data ecosystem, two formats rule the world: Spreadsheets (Excel/CSV) for humans, and JSON for machines. Bridging the gap between these two is often a daily struggle for developers, data analysts, and content managers. Our tool provides a universal solution to convert .xlsx, .xls, and .csv files directly into valid JSON arrays.

Why Convert Spreadsheet Data to JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) has become the de-facto standard for data interchange on the web. Here is why you might need to convert your Excel sheets:

• Web APIs: Most modern REST APIs accept data payload in JSON format.
• NoSQL Databases: Databases like MongoDB store data in a JSON-like format (BSON). Importing Excel data directly requires conversion.
• Configuration Files: Many software applications use JSON for configuration settings, which are easier to manage in Excel first.
• Frontend Data: Populating tables, charts, or dropdowns in a React, Vue, or Angular app often starts with a static JSON file.

Supported Formats

Unlike basic tools that only handle CSV, our engine uses the powerful SheetJS library to support complex binary formats:

1. CSV (.csv): Simple comma-separated text files.
2. Excel Workbook (.xlsx): The modern XML-based Excel format (2007+).
3. Excel 97-2004 (.xls): The older binary Excel format.
