Markdown to JSON

Turn a Markdown file into a JSON syntax tree for developers

If you write documentation in Markdown but need to feed its structure into another program, plain text will not help much. A build script or a content pipeline usually wants clearly labeled data: which part is a heading, which is a list item, and how deep each piece is nested. That is what this tool produces.

Upload a single md or markdown file and the tool breaks the document into its underlying structure, then writes out a JSON file describing every heading, paragraph, list, table, and code block as a nested object rather than raw formatted text. There are no settings to choose; you upload the file and download the result. The output keeps the document's outline intact, so a script downstream can walk through sections in order, pull out just the headings, or rebuild the content elsewhere.

This works well for indexing documentation, feeding a static site generator, or writing a check that looks at structure without caring about exact wording. It is less useful if you only want to read the content yourself, since the output is nested data rather than a formatted page. If you already have a JSON tree and want readable Markdown back, use JSON to Markdown instead. Files go to our servers over an encrypted connection and are deleted within 60 minutes, and only one file converts per run.
