Convert JSON to CSV
CSV works well for flat tables. JSON works better for nested data. Learn when conversion is safe.
Core concepts
- Flat arrays convert cleanly.
- Nested objects may need flattening.
- CSV loses data types.
- Headers come from JSON keys.
Example
[
{ "name": "Ava", "role": "Designer" },
{ "name": "Noah", "role": "Developer" }
]Practice
Convert a flat JSON array to CSV, then add a nested object and notice what changes.
Checklist

- Check column headers.
- Watch nested values.
