Frequently Asked Questions

How are nested JSON objects handled in CSV conversion?

Nested objects are flattened using dot notation (e.g., 'address.street'). You can customize the separator and choose how deep to flatten the structure.

What happens to JSON arrays during conversion?

Arrays can be handled in multiple ways: joined as comma-separated strings, expanded into separate columns, or serialized as JSON strings. You can choose the method that best fits your needs.

Can I customize the CSV headers?

Yes, you can use original JSON keys, friendly names, or dot notation for nested fields. The tool also supports custom header mappings for complex transformations.

Is there a limit to the JSON file size I can convert?

The tool supports files up to 100MB. For very large files, we provide progress tracking and process the data in chunks to ensure smooth conversion.

What delimiters are supported besides commas?

You can use semicolons, tabs, pipes, or any custom character as a delimiter. This helps with international formats and specific application requirements.

How are special characters and quotes handled?

The converter properly escapes special characters and wraps fields containing delimiters in quotes according to CSV standards, ensuring data integrity.

Can I convert a single JSON object (not an array)?

Yes, single JSON objects are converted to a single row CSV. Nested objects are flattened into columns, and arrays become comma-separated values or separate columns.
