How to Convert JSON to CSV for Excel and Google Sheets

JSON is ideal for APIs and structured applications, but CSV is much easier to open in spreadsheet tools like Excel and Google Sheets. If you need to analyze, export, or share JSON data in tabular form, converting JSON to CSV is the easiest path.

When do you need JSON to CSV conversion?

• Exporting API data into spreadsheets
• Preparing reports for Excel
• Sharing structured data with non-developers
• Cleaning or reviewing tabular records

What kind of JSON works best?

JSON arrays of objects convert best to CSV because each object becomes a row and each property becomes a column.

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

What does the CSV output look like?

name,age,city
John,30,New York
Sara,25,London
