Data formats
TSV to JSON
Convert tab-separated values into JSON for spreadsheets and database exports.
TSV avoids comma conflicts inside cells, so it is common in scientific data and some exports. Paste text where columns are separated by tabs and get JSON objects per row—ideal before cleaning data in code or sending it to an API.

FAQs
When should I use TSV instead of CSV?›
When your data rarely contains tab characters, TSV is simple and fast. If you have embedded tabs or need RFC-style quoting, CSV may be safer.
How is each line parsed?›
Lines are split on tab characters. The first line can be treated as column names when that option is on.
Can this handle huge files?›
Browser memory is the limit. Multi‑megabyte paste can freeze the tab—prefer streaming tools for very large datasets.
Is data sent to a server?›
No. Conversion happens locally in your browser.
General
Do these tools send my data to Exemplar’s servers?›
By default, conversion and formatting run entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to Exemplar for normal paste-and-transform workflows. Tools that deliberately open an external service (for example, a third-party speed test) are called out on the page.
Do I need an account or install anything?›
No account is required. Everything runs in the browser—there is nothing to install for these utilities. They complement the Exemplar platform but work standalone.
Are these utilities open-source or the same as other sites?›
These pages are built for Exemplar’s audience (developers working with APIs, config, and ops data). Behavior may differ slightly from other online tools; always verify critical output in your own environment.
Are there size or performance limits?›
Very large inputs can slow down or crash the tab—especially for images, huge JSON, or multi‑MB HAR files. For production-scale data, prefer local CLI tools, streaming parsers, or your own pipelines.
Can I use output in production?›
Yes, when you have validated it. Parsers and formatters here aim to be helpful for everyday tasks but are not a substitute for tests, schema validation, or security review where it matters.
