- Header Row: Indicate whether to create a header row from keys in your JSON objects (if applicable).
- File Format: Choose between XLSX (the newer, recommended format) and XLS (the older format).

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 Excel?
Microsoft Excel is a widely used spreadsheet program. It allows users to create, edit, and analyze data in tabular format. The converter transforms your CSV data into an Excel workbook that can be opened and manipulated using Excel or other compatible spreadsheet software. The two main Excel file formats are:
- XLSX: The newer XML-based format. This is generally the preferred format.
- XLS: The older binary format.
