JSON to Markdown

Turn JSON data into readable Markdown with tables

Sometimes the data you have sits in a JSON file: an export from a script, a saved response, or a structured document tree produced by another tool. Reading raw JSON is fine for a program, but tiring for a person once you are a few levels deep into nested objects. This tool turns that JSON into Markdown you can read, skim, or paste into documentation.

Upload a single JSON file. If it is a plain data object, the tool lays it out as headings and text, and turns arrays of similar objects into Markdown tables, so rows and columns line up instead of forcing you to scroll through brackets and commas. If the JSON is instead a structured document tree, such as the kind produced by the matching Markdown to JSON tool on this site, it gets rebuilt into ordinary Markdown with headings, lists, and code blocks restored. There are no extra settings to pick.

This is handy for turning a saved data export into a readable report, or for closing the loop after exporting a document to JSON and wanting it back in an editable, human-friendly form. It is not a general JSON validator, so fix structural problems in your file first. Only one file processes at a time, handled on our servers over an encrypted connection, then deleted within 60 minutes.
