What is CSV to JSON Conversion?
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) to JSON conversion transforms tabular data into structured JSON objects. CSV files use rows and columns separated by commas, while JSON represents data as nested objects and arrays. This converter handles custom delimiters, quoted fields, headers, and can also convert JSON arrays back to CSV.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the converter handle commas in field values?
Fields containing commas, quotes, or newlines should be enclosed in double quotes in CSV. The converter properly handles quoted fields, escaped quotes (""), and multiline values according to RFC 4180.
Can I use a different delimiter?
Yes. Besides commas, you can use tabs (TSV), semicolons, pipes, or any custom delimiter. European CSV files often use semicolons because commas are used as decimal separators in many European countries.
