Frequently Asked Questions

Is JSON validated before conversion?

Yes. The tool validates the JSON and shows a clear error message with the line number if the syntax is invalid.

How are nested objects displayed?

Nested objects and arrays are indented with syntax highlighting. Collapsible sections are shown in the preview but expanded in the PDF.

Can I convert JSON arrays into tables?

Yes. Arrays of objects with consistent keys are rendered as a table, with keys as column headers and each object as a row.
