JSON to Text Converter

A popular format for data exchange between servers, apps, and APIs is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). However, converting that data to plain text format can be very beneficial when it comes to sharing or simplifying it. Developers, analysts and casual users can all flatten and extract data from JSON structures into readable, structured plain text with our JSON to Text Converter tool.

Why Convert JSON to Text?

JSON is powerful, but its structured format can be hard to read or use in certain applications such as logs, plain documentation, or simple scripts.

• Enhance Readability - You need to Remove quotes, commas, and braces.
• Logs - Can be simplified data for logging and monitoring systems that do not support JSON.
• Turn on Fast Copy-Paste - While writing emails, reports or notes use plain text.
• Get Data Ready for Terminal Use - Format output for CLI tools or shell scripts that prefer plain text.

JSON to Text Converter features

Converts nested JSON objects like user.name and user.email into a flat structure using dot notation.

Shows each key and its value in a readable format on a new line, such as:
name: Alice Johnson
email: alice@example.com

JSON arrays are processed and flattened so each object in the array becomes its own text block, separated for clarity.

Choose between compact key-value output, tabbed formats, or raw values only—depending on your needs.

Once the conversion is complete, copy the result to clipboard or download it as a .txt file.

How to Use

1. Paste your JSON data or upload a .json file.
2. Click the “Convert” button or enable auto-convert.
3. Review the plain text output.
4. Copy it or download it instantly.

Sample JSON for Testing

{
  "employee": {
    "id": 101,
    "name": "Alice Johnson",

    "department": {
      "name": "Operations",
      "location": "New York"
    }
  },
  "active": true,
  "joined": "2023-06-01"
}

Converted Text Output

employee.id: 101
employee.name: Alice Johnson
employee.email: alice@example.com
employee.role: Project Manager
employee.department.name: Operations
employee.department.location: New York
active: true
joined: 2023-06-01
