The easy, confidential online data converter

Csvjson helps you quickly convert popular data formats to the format you need. Data pasted and converted remains local on your computer.

About Data Formats

CSV

CSV or Comma Separated Values is widely used for tabular data and often associated to spreadsheet applications like Excel.

Many data reporting tools output to CSV format.

JSON

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and has become the defacto computer format readable by humans to store structured data.

From APIs to configuration files, JSON is now everywhere.

SQL

SQL stands for Structured Query Language and is the standard language for relational database management systems.

SQL is one of the most-used languages in the tech industry.

Confidentiality

Any data pasted and converted on csvjson remains local on your computer. Data is never sent to the server.

Three exceptions are:

  1. You upload a file. Data is sent to the server and downloaded back for use. The uploaded file gets deleted and is not tracked.
  2. You Save a permalink to your session to share with co-workers. Your data gets persisted on the server. It can be deleted by clearing the data and saving again.
  3. For instrumentation purposes, we save column headers when you convert CSV to JSON. The content is never saved.
