02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • A list of objects becomes the records; if the list sits inside an object (for example {"items": [...]}), the first list found is used
  • Keys keep their original order, and keys that appear only in later objects are not lost
  • Saved as UTF-8 with a BOM, with tabs between columns, so commas inside values need no quoting
  • Empty values (null) become empty cells

Good to know

  • The file must be strict JSON: comments, trailing commas and single quotes make it invalid and the conversion will fail with the position of the error.
  • Tabs and line breaks inside a value are wrapped in quotes automatically so the columns stay aligned.
  • Nested objects and lists cannot sit in a table cell, so they are written into the cell as JSON text, for example {"city":"Lviv"}.

03 / formats

JSON vs TSV

JSON

A JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file stores structured, nested data as readable text — objects, arrays, and key-value pairs. It's the standard format for web APIs and app configuration, so you'll often get one from a developer, an API response, or an app's settings export.

Used in: Web APIs · App configs · Settings exports

TSV

A TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file is just like CSV, but it uses tabs instead of commas to separate columns. It's handy when the data itself contains commas — like addresses or descriptions — since tabs won't get confused with the content.

Used in: Spreadsheet exports · Data containing commas · Bioinformatics data
