Frequently Asked Questions

What JSON structure works best for CSV?

An array of objects with consistent keys works best. Each object becomes a row, and each key becomes a column header.

How are nested objects handled?

Nested objects and arrays are serialized as JSON strings within the CSV cell.

What if objects have different keys?

All unique keys across all objects are collected as headers. Objects missing a key will have an empty cell for that column.

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

Yes. A single object is treated as a one-row table, with keys as headers and values as the single data row.

Are nested objects flattened in the CSV?

Nested objects and arrays are serialized as JSON strings within CSV cells. For flat structures, each key becomes a clean CSV column.
