About the JSON to PDF tool
JSON is built for programs, not for reading on paper. This tool lays your data out as a document rather than dumping the source text into a page: every object becomes a field-and-value table, every nested object gets its own heading and section, and a list of records becomes a real table with one row per record.
So a single object comes out as a tidy list of fields, an API response keeps its structure instead of its braces, and everything is real selectable text — not a screenshot of an editor. If you do want the raw source, the pretty-printed, colour-coded view is still one click away.
Frequently asked questions
How is a nested object printed?+
It gets a heading named after its key and its own indented field table beneath it, so the structure is visible without a single brace. A list of objects inside a record is printed as a table, or as one block per record when it has too many fields to fit across the page.
What happens to arrays?+
An array of simple values — strings, numbers, booleans — is joined into one cell, so "skills" reads as a list on a single row. An array of objects becomes a table with one row per object and a column per field.
What if my records don't all have the same fields?+
The table's columns are the union of every field, in the order they first appear. Records missing a field get an empty cell.
My JSON won't convert — why?+
It has a syntax error somewhere. The message tells you what the parser objected to; a trailing comma or a single quote instead of a double quote is usually the cause.
Can I keep the original field names?+
Yes — keys are printed exactly as they appear by default. Turn on "Tidy up field names" and isActive becomes Is Active, first_name becomes First Name.
Is the output colour-coded?+
In the raw JSON view, yes — keys, strings, numbers and literals each get their own colour, like a code editor. The document and table layouts use plain text with bold field names and optional row shading.
How large a file can I convert?+
There's no imposed limit, but very large documents produce very long PDFs. Everything is processed on your device, so the practical ceiling is your own memory.
