βœ… Conversion Successful!

The JSON to SQL Converter is a browser-based data conversion tool that helps you seamlessly convert any valid JSON data into structured SQL statements. Whether your JSON file contains flat records or complex nested objects, this tool automatically analyzes the structure and produces optimized CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statements. It works entirely on your device β€” ensuring that your data remains private and never leaves your browser.

Upload or Paste JSON Instantly

You can begin by uploading a .json file or directly pasting your JSON data into the editor on the left side of the interface. The tool uses a real-time JSON validator to verify that your input is syntactically correct. If the JSON is valid, it will be parsed and displayed in a formatted preview panel using a collapsible tree view. Invalid JSON instantly triggers a red error message so you can correct it before conversion.

Live JSON Preview and Structure Visualization

The preview pane lets you explore the JSON hierarchy before generating SQL. Arrays, objects, and nested structures are visually represented to help you understand how your data will be mapped to relational tables. Collapsible nodes provide an intuitive way to inspect nested elements, ensuring you can confirm the structure before proceeding.

Automatic Conversion to SQL

Once your JSON data is ready, simply click the β€œConvert JSON” button. The converter analyzes your data and generates SQL statements automatically. It determines whether your JSON is flat or hierarchical:

  • Flat JSON: Creates a single SQL table with columns for each key and generates all corresponding INSERT statements.
  • Nested JSON: Detects embedded arrays or objects and produces multiple relational tables. It assigns primary keys, foreign keys, and relationship comments that describe one-to-many structures.

The resulting SQL output includes complete CREATE TABLE definitions with inferred column types (INTEGER, VARCHAR, TEXT, BOOLEAN, or JSONB) based on detected data types. All special characters and strings are automatically sanitized to prevent syntax errors or SQL injection.

Smart SQL Type Detection

Each value in your JSON data is analyzed to determine the best SQL type:

  • Numbers are mapped to INTEGER or DECIMAL(10,2).
  • Strings are assigned VARCHAR(255) or TEXT for longer values.
  • Booleans become BOOLEAN fields.
  • Arrays and objects are stored as JSONB values for flexibility.

This ensures your exported SQL code is both accurate and database-ready β€” compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite systems.

Instant SQL Output, Copy, and Export

After conversion, the generated SQL code appears in a dedicated output panel. You can:

  • Copy to Clipboard: Use the πŸ“‹ button to copy all SQL statements instantly.
  • Export File: Download the output as a .sql file with one click.
  • Scroll to Output: After conversion, the browser automatically scrolls to the result section so you can access it without manual navigation.

A subtle toast notification confirms each successful conversion, copy, or export action.

Full Offline Privacy

All operations are performed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. No server communication occurs, which means:

  • Your JSON data never leaves your device.
  • No files are uploaded or stored online.
  • The tool works even when offline or in restricted environments.

Supported Browsers

The converter runs smoothly on all modern browsers including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. It requires no extensions or installations β€” simply open the page and start converting.

Use Cases

  • πŸ’Ύ Migrating JSON API data to SQL databases.
  • 🧩 Structuring JSON configurations or logs into relational format.
  • πŸ“Š Importing web data, user info, or analytics into SQL for queries.
  • 🧠 Learning relational modeling from nested JSON structures.

Example Conversion

Below is an example of how a JSON object is converted to SQL:

{
  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Alice",
    "email": "alice@example.com",
    "roles": ["admin", "editor"]
  }
}

Generated SQL:

CREATE TABLE user_table (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(255),
  email VARCHAR(255),
  roles JSONB
);

INSERT INTO user_table (name, email, roles)
VALUES ('Alice', 'alice@example.com', '["admin","editor"]');

Why Choose This Converter?
