SQL to JSON Converter
Convert your SQL INSERT statements into structured JSON data.
About the SQL to JSON Converter Tool
This tool is for developers who need to convert database exports into a format that's easy to use in modern applications. It takes SQL `INSERT` statements and transforms them into structured JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). This is great for using your database data in a web API, a front-end framework, or a NoSQL database.
How to Use the Tool
- Paste your SQL `INSERT` statements into the input box on the left.
- Use the options to choose your preferred JSON formatting, like "Pretty Print" for readability.
- The tool will instantly convert your SQL into a JSON array of objects, which will appear on the right.
- You can then copy the JSON data or download it as a `.json` file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I convert SQL to JSON?
Converting SQL to JSON is very useful for using traditional database data in modern web applications. JSON is the standard format for most web APIs and is used natively by JavaScript. This makes it easy to load database content into a front-end application or to import it into a NoSQL database like MongoDB.
Which SQL statements can this tool convert?
This tool is designed to parse standard `INSERT INTO` statements. It can process multiple statements at once and handles different SQL quoting styles for table and column names. It also correctly interprets SQL values like strings, numbers, and `NULL`.
What does the "Infer Data Types" option do?
When this option is checked, the tool will try to be smart about your data. It will convert text that looks like a number (e.g., `'123'`) into an actual number (e.g., `123`) in the JSON output. It does the same for boolean values (`'true'` becomes `true`). If you uncheck it, all values from your SQL will be treated as strings in the JSON.
What is the difference between "Pretty Print" and minified?
"Pretty Print" formats the JSON with indentation and line breaks, making it easy for humans to read. Minified JSON removes all extra whitespace, creating a compact file that is smaller and faster to transfer over a network, which is better for production use.
Is my SQL data private?
Yes, your data is always private. This converter runs completely in your web browser. No data is ever sent to our servers for processing, so you can convert sensitive information with peace of mind.
