How to Convert CSV to JSON
JSON is the language of APIs and modern apps. This guide shows how a CSV file becomes a clean JSON array of objects.
What you get
Each CSV row becomes one JSON object, with keys from the header row:
name,age,city
Alice,30,Mumbai
becomes:
[
{ "name": "Alice", "age": "30", "city": "Mumbai" }
]
Why values are strings
CSV carries no type information. A column might look numeric but actually be a ZIP code (07001) or an ID with leading zeros. Guessing types is exactly how data gets silently corrupted, so this converter keeps every value as a string. That is predictable and lossless. If you need numbers or booleans, cast them in your own code after import, where you control the rules.
Quoting and special characters
Standard CSV quoting is handled: commas inside quotes stay in one field, doubled quotes ("") become a literal quote, and newlines inside quoted fields are preserved.
