Convert Nested JSON to Excel
Nested fields as columns
Nested objects become columns such as address.city, address.zip, and profile.contact.email.
Readable tables
The converter shows a table preview so you can check complex JSON before creating the workbook.
Basic data types
Numbers and booleans stay as spreadsheet values instead of being forced into text.
Valid JSON first
Format or validate pasted JSON before conversion, with helpful error messages when the JSON is invalid.
How JSON Arrays Are Converted
If your JSON starts with a list, each item becomes a row. Simple lists are combined into one cell, and lists of objects become separate Excel columns. For the reverse workflow, use the Excel to JSON converter to turn workbook rows back into JSON.
JSON arrays
{
"order": 1001,
"tags": ["paid", "priority"],
"items": [
{ "name": "Mouse", "qty": 2 },
{ "name": "Keyboard", "qty": 1 }
]
}Excel columns
| order | tags | items[0].name | items[0].qty | items[1].name | items[1].qty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1001 | paid; priority | Mouse | 2 | Keyboard | 1 |
