About

This tool transforms tabular data - specifically from Google Sheets, CSV, or TSV files - into structured JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). Unlike simple split-based converters, this engine uses a lexical parser to handle edge cases like newlines within cells and escaped quotes, ensuring 100% data integrity.

Data processing happens entirely in your browser using local JavaScript APIs. This means your sensitive financial or user data is never transmitted to a server. The conversion complexity is linear, O(n), making it efficient even for datasets with thousands of rows.

Pro Tip: To import directly from Google Sheets, the sheet must be Published to the Web (File → Share → Publish to web) or you must export it as a .csv file first.

Formulas

The parser operates by iterating through the character stream S. For each character c at index i, the state T transitions based on delimiters and quote contexts.

State(c) =
{
toggle quote if c == "new cell if c == , ¬quotenew row if c == \n ¬quote

This ensures that delimiters inside strings are treated as literals rather than separators.
