Usage Guide
Extracting tabular data from Markdown documents into JSON for API comparison or frontend rendering — manual copying does not scale. This tool parses Markdown tables into JSON object arrays, one object per row, one field per column, with automatic type inference (number/boolean/string), local execution.
1. How to use
- Paste Markdown table text (with pipes and alignment markers).
- Auto-detect headers as JSON keys, each data row becomes one object.
- Choose output: compact JSON (one line) or pretty-printed (indented), copy or download.
2. Type inference and precision
- Numbers and booleans auto-infer: 123 → number, true/false → boolean, everything else is string.
- Disable type inference if you need all fields to remain strings (avoids unintended coercions).
- Date-like strings (2024-01-15) stay as string, not Date objects — post-process with timestamp-converter if needed.
- Empty or duplicate headers cause key collisions — ensure unique non-empty headers before converting.
3. Standardizing tabular data
Markdown tables are human-readable formatting; JSON is machine-readable structure — the conversion strips formatting (merged cells, alignment, bold) and yields clean structured data. This is critical for data migration: old document Markdown table → JSON → import into a new system database. After conversion validate with json-schema, then decide whether data cleaning is needed (null removal, format normalization).
FAQ
Completely free with no registration. Conversion runs locally in your browser and table data is never uploaded.
An array of objects: the first row becomes the keys and each subsequent row becomes a JSON object.
Yes. The output is a standard JSON array ready to use as mock data or sample API responses.
