JSON to Excel Converter

What is JSON to Excel Conversion?

JSON to Excel conversion transforms JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data into Excel spreadsheet format. This is useful for exporting JSON data from APIs, databases, or applications into Excel for analysis, sharing, or further processing. JSON arrays of objects are converted to Excel rows and columns.

Our free JSON to Excel Converter takes JSON arrays of objects and converts them to Excel files. Object keys become column headers, and object values become cell data. The Excel file is automatically downloaded for you to use.

How JSON to Excel Works

The conversion process:

1. Parse JSON array of objects
2. Extract object keys as column headers
3. Convert each object to a row
4. Create Excel worksheet
5. Generate and download .xlsx file

Example Conversion

JSON input:

[
  {
    "name": "John",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "New York"
  },
  {
    "name": "Jane",
    "age": 25,
    "city": "London"
  }
]

Excel output: Spreadsheet with columns (name, age, city) and rows for each object.

Best Practices

• Valid JSON: Ensure JSON is valid and properly formatted
• Array Format: JSON must be an array of objects
• Consistent Keys: Objects should have consistent keys
• Data Types: Excel will handle data types automatically

FAQs

What JSON format is required?

JSON must be an array of objects. Each object's keys become column headers, and values become cell data.

What Excel format is generated?

Excel files are generated in .xlsx format (Excel 2007+).

What if objects have different keys?

All unique keys across all objects become columns. Missing values in some objects will be empty cells.

Can I convert nested JSON?

Nested objects and arrays are flattened. For complex nested structures, consider preprocessing the JSON first.
