About TSV to JSON Converter

1What is it?

Convert Tab-Separated Values (TSV) into structured JSON data. TSV is often used in research datasets and clipboard data from Excel/Sheets. This tool reliably parses TSV and outputs a JSON array of objects, handling tabs and special characters correctly.

2Use Cases

  • Convert data copied directly from Excel/Google Sheets (which often pastes as TSV)
  • Process linguistic or research datasets stored in TSV
  • Import legacy data dumps into modern NoSQL databases
  • Visualize tabular data in web applications

3Examples

Input

Name	Age
John	30

Output

[{"Name":"John","Age":"30"}]

?Frequently Asked Questions

Why TSV instead of CSV?

TSV is simpler because tabs rarely appear in actual data content, unlike commas (used in text, numbers). This makes TSV less prone to parsing errors without needing complex quoting rules.

Can I paste directly from Excel?

Yes! When you copy cells in Excel and paste them into a text editor, they are usually tab-separated. Paste that directly here to get JSON.
