CSV and Excel files are often used for spreadsheet data. JSON is a newer format that can be parsed by JavaScript. Once you convert these formats to JSON, they can be uploaded into an API endpoint and processed by a web service function in the cloud. This tool allows you to paste CSV or Excel text then returns the result as JSON-formatted string so it can be loaded into your database or other file storage system. This process is quick and easy because all of the logic needed to perform this operation resides on our servers, not yours!

Convert CSV and Excel to JSON
Convert your csv or Excel text into JSON format!
CSV
CSV stands for “comma-separated values,” and it is a common format of data exchange. To save data in the CSV format, all you need to do is open up Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, click on “File”, then choose “Save as,” select “Comma Separated Values” from the drop-down menu, name your file with a “.csv” extension (ex. MyData.csv), then press the enter key on your keyboard or click outside of the box to save changes.
CSV files are versatile formats that can be used for many purposes: they can store tabular information like product inventory counts; they contain text documents like various company policies; and even just simple lists of names.
JSON
JSON, short for JavaScript Object Notation, is a data-interchange format that was developed in the early 2000s as part of the JavaScript programming language. JSON provides a standard text-based format to store and exchange data objects consisting of key:value pairs. JSON’s design goal was to be easy for humans to read and write by being based on conventions already used in other languages. It can also be easily translated into many computer languages such as C++ or Java.
JSON has become popular with programmers because it allows them to communicate over various types of mediums without having knowledge about each other’s type system, at least not initially. This makes it easier for programmers who work across different software systems and platforms from one another.
