Frequently Asked Questions

How can I handle CSV files with nested data structures?

Our converter supports dot notation in CSV headers (e.g., "user.name", "user.email") to automatically generate nested JSON objects, and array notation (e.g., "tags[0]", "tags[1]") for array creation from your flat CSV data.

Can I customize the JSON output format?

Yes, our advanced options allow customizing field mapping, data types (automatically convert numbers, booleans, and dates), pretty-printing with adjustable indentation, and choosing between array of objects or object with keyed items.

How does the converter handle special characters and encoding?

Our tool automatically detects and preserves UTF-8 encoding, properly escapes special characters, and handles quotation marks in CSV fields. You can also manually select alternative encodings for international character support.
