About JSON to TSV
This tool turns JSON records into tab-separated values, with one row per record and one column per key. Tabs rarely appear inside real data, so TSV avoids most of the quoting that commas in addresses, prices and descriptions cause in CSV. It is also the format spreadsheets accept when you paste.
When it helps
- Pasting JSON data straight into Google Sheets or Excel, which split tab-separated text into cells.
- Preparing input for command-line tools like cut, awk or sort that split on tabs by default.
- Exporting records for bioinformatics or research tools that expect .tsv files.
Tips
- As with CSV output, the columns come from the keys of the first object, so put a complete record first.
- Keep records flat. Nested objects aren't expanded and show up as "[object Object]".
- Values that contain a tab or a line break are wrapped in double quotes. Simple tools that split strictly on tabs may not handle those, so clean such fields first if that matters.
