What Convert JSON to a List can do:

Convert JSON to a List is great for pulling out specific information from JSON objects or arrays when you don’t want the structure just the content. It’s handy for making summaries, debugging, extracting logs, or prepping text for documentation. You can include key names or skip them entirely. Deep flattening gives you access to data buried inside nested objects without hassle. And it all happens live in your browser.

Example:

Before:

{
  "user": {
    "name": "Alice",
    "email": "[email protected]"
  },
  "age": 30
}

Settings:

  • Mode: Keys Only
  • Deep Flatten: On

After:

user.name
user.email
age

Common Use Cases:

If you need to extract key names for mapping, gather only values for review, or flatten deeply nested JSON for readability, this tool’s for you. Convert JSON to a List helps you clean up API responses, generate quick reports, or just see your data in a simpler format all client-side, no install, no fuss.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Before the switch, Flatten a JSON Object can help simplify any nested data that won’t map cleanly to a list. Then, if you want to style the result, Bold List Items makes it easier to highlight the important parts.
