Use Case Guide by Category

Streamlining REST API Integration

1. API Response Conversion

JSON to CSV conversion use cases:

Analyzing API results in Excel
Preparing data for reports
Backup storage purposes

2. Request Data Preparation

// Example JSON format for API
{
  "users": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "John Doe",
      "email": "john@example.com",
      "created_at": "2024-01-15T09:30:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

3. Bulk Data Processing

Large-scale data batch processing
Pagination support
Error handling and retry logic

Implementation Example: API Integration Flow

// Send CSV data to API in JSON format
const csvData = await convertCSVtoJSON(file);
const response = await fetch('/api/bulk-import', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify(csvData)
});

Step-by-Step Usage Guide

Step 1: File Upload

Upload CSV or JSON files via drag & drop or file selection. Supports up to 1GB files.

Step 2: Conversion Settings

Data types: Automatic detection or manual setting
Encoding: Choose from UTF-8, Shift-JIS, etc.
Delimiter: Comma, tab, semicolon, etc.
Header handling: Include/exclude selection

Step 3: Preview and Validation

Check conversion results with real-time preview. Detailed display if errors occur.

Step 4: Download

Download the optimized file after conversion completion. Compression options also available.

Professional Data Processing Techniques

💡 Expert Tips

Large files: Use streaming processing for split conversion
Character corruption prevention: UTF-8 with BOM recommended
Date processing: Standardize with ISO 8601 format
Number precision: Pay attention to floating-point digits
Performance: Remove unnecessary columns beforehand

Implementation Examples and Conversion Samples

Common Conversion Patterns

1. Sales Data Conversion

CSV Input:

date,product,quantity,unit_price,total
2024-01-01,Product A,10,1000,10000
2024-01-01,Product B,5,2000,10000

JSON Output:

[
{
  "date": "2024-01-01",
  "product": "Product A",
  "quantity": 10,
  "unit_price": 1000,
  "total": 10000
}
]

2. Nested JSON

JSON Input:

{
"user": {
  "id": 1,
  "profile": {
    "name": "John",
    "age": 30
  }
}
}

CSV Output (Flattened):

user.id,user.profile.name,user.profile.age
1,John,30

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are there processing limits for large files?

Files up to 1GB can be processed. For larger sizes, we recommend using streaming processing mode or splitting files for batch processing. Processing speed is approximately 100MB/second.

Q2: How to handle character corruption issues?

Check your character encoding settings. For files containing non-ASCII characters, select UTF-8 (with BOM) or appropriate encoding. Auto-detection is available, but explicit specification is more reliable.

Q3: How are nested JSONs processed?

Nested objects are automatically flattened. Arrays are expanded into separate rows, and object properties generate column names using dot notation (e.g., user.profile.name).

Q4: Can it be used directly via API?

Currently Web UI-based, but command-line tools and API endpoints are planned. Currently, browser automation tools (Selenium, etc.) can be used.

Q5: Is data security guaranteed?

All processing is completed within the browser, with no data sent to servers. SSL encrypted communication is used, and data is automatically deleted from memory after processing.

All processing is done within your browser, and no data is sent externally. You can safely use it with personal or confidential information.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Not working: Clear browser cache and reload
Slow processing: Check file size (recommended under 20MB)
Unexpected results: Verify input format and settings

If issues persist, update your browser to the latest version or try a different browser.
