Visual JSON to Text Converter & Extractor

Transform complex JSON data into clean, human-readable plain text with our interactive converter. This tool goes beyond simple formatting by generating a visual, collapsible tree of your JSON schema. You can selectively choose which data fields to extract, and the tool intelligently formats the output, automatically creating beautiful text-based tables from arrays.

How It Works

Our converter provides a powerful, visual interface for parsing and extracting data from any JSON structure. The process is seamless and updates in real-time.

  1. Provide Your JSON: Paste your JSON data into the input panel. The tool instantly validates it and generates an interactive schema tree.
  2. Select Your Data: Use the checkboxes in the schema tree to select the specific fields or entire objects/arrays you want to extract.
  3. Get Formatted Output: The tool automatically generates a clean, plain-text representation in the output panel, smartly creating tables for array data.

Key Features

  • Interactive Schema Tree:
    • Automatic Generation: Instantly visualizes the structure of any valid JSON, no matter how nested.
    • Collapsible Nodes: Easily navigate complex data by expanding and collapsing objects and arrays.
    • Rich Type Information: Displays the data type (Object, Array, string, etc.) and element count for arrays (e.g., `Array[3]`).
  • Intelligent Data Extraction & Formatting:
    • Selective Field Export: Use the checkboxes to choose exactly which data points you need. Checking a parent node selects all its children.
    • Automatic Text Table Generation: This is the standout feature. When you select fields within an array of objects, the tool automatically formats them into a perfectly aligned, plain-text table—ideal for reports, logs, or documentation.
    • Smart Grouping: The tool correctly groups related fields. If you select `users.id` and `users.name`, it understands they belong to the same `users` array and creates a single table.
    • Key-Value Formatting: For individual fields not in an array, it produces a clean `Key: Value` list.
  • Powerful & User-Friendly Interface:
    • Real-Time Updates: The schema tree and text output update live as you type, with a smart debounce delay to ensure performance.
    • Clear Error Handling: Immediately alerts you to syntax errors in your JSON, making debugging easy.
    • Convenient Controls: Includes one-click buttons to Copy the output, Clear the input, or Paste sample data to see the tool in action.

  4. Step 4: Copy Your Formatted Text
