import Papa from 'papaparse';

const csvContent = fs.readFileSync('input.csv', 'utf8');
const parsed = Papa.parse(csvContent, {
  header: true,
  skipEmptyLines: true,
});

fs.writeFileSync('output.json', JSON.stringify(parsed.data, null, 2));
Bash Convert CSV to JSON with Python one-liner in Terminal

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert CSV to JSON safely without uploading data?

ToolNara executes the conversion entirely inside your browser using PapaParse and client-side JavaScript. Your confidential business spreadsheets and data never touch our servers.

Can this tool parse Tab-Separated Values (TSV) or Excel files?

Yes. Set the delimiter to "Tab (TSV / Excel)" or simply drag your exported TSV spreadsheet file into the dropzone to convert it to JSON.

What is the structure of the converted JSON?

When "First row has headers" is enabled, each row becomes an object whose keys match your column names: [ { "id": 1, "name": "ToolNara" } ].

Does this converter work completely offline?

Yes! Once the webpage is loaded in your browser, all conversions execute locally with zero internet dependency.
