How to Convert JSON to ASCII Table Online?

Transform your JSON data into clean, readable ASCII tables with our online converter. This is useful for displaying structured JSON data in environments where only plain text is supported, such as terminal interfaces or documentation.

1. Upload or Paste Your JSON Data

Upload your JSON file or paste your JSON data into the provided input area. The converter will need to parse the JSON data to understand its structure.

2. Configure the ASCII Table Output

This step is crucial for a successful conversion. You'll need to specify how your JSON data maps to the ASCII table:

  • Data Structure: The converter needs to understand the structure of your JSON. Is it an array of objects (where each object represents a row), or a single object with arrays as values? Different structures will require different configuration.
  • Header Row: Specify how the header row of your ASCII table should be created. This might involve selecting specific keys from your JSON objects.
  • Column Alignment: Specify the alignment of text within each column (left, right, center).
  • Border Styles: Choose border styles (single, double, or no border).
  • Padding: Adjust the spacing between columns.

3. Generate and Preview the ASCII Table

The converter will generate the ASCII table representation of your JSON data based on your configuration. A preview area will allow you to review the ASCII table before copying it.

4. Copy the ASCII Table

Copy the generated ASCII table to your clipboard. You can then paste it into your documentation, terminal, or other plain text environment.

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text-based data-interchange format. It's widely used for transmitting data between a server and a web application. A simple example:

[
  {"name": "Alice", "age": 30},
  {"name": "Bob", "age": 25}
]

What is ASCII Table?

ASCII tables are text-based representations of tabular data using standard ASCII characters. They're perfect for displaying structured data in environments where only plain text is supported, such as terminal interfaces or text documentation.
