JSON to Markdown Converter
Turn a JSON document into Markdown you can drop straight into a README, a wiki page, or a pull request description.

Syntax colouring is off for this document because recolouring something this large on every keystroke would slow typing down. Every tool still works normally.

About this tool
Four different things people mean by "JSON to Markdown," so this is four modes rather than one guess. Table needs an array of objects, or a single object as a one row table, the same shape the CSV converter accepts; columns default to every key seen, in first seen order, and can be narrowed once they are detected. Nested list walks the whole document regardless of its shape, turning every object member into a bullet and indenting a nested object or array rather than flattening it. Code block pretty prints the document and wraps it in a fenced json block, for dropping straight into a Markdown file that already has surrounding prose. Field summary describes the document rather than repeating its values: each field with its type and one short example, and an array of objects described once by its shared fields rather than once per element. Every mode reads the document with the same exact precision parser the rest of this site uses, so a twenty digit id never rounds on the way through.
How to use
- Paste your JSON on the left, or load the sample.
- Choose a mode and press Convert. Table mode lets you pick which columns to include once they are detected.
- Copy the result or download it as a file.
