What is JSON to Text Converter?

"JSON to Text" walks through a JSON document and collects all leaf values — by default string values only — and outputs them as a flat list of lines. This gives you the readable text content of a JSON document without any structural markup.

It is useful when you receive a JSON API response with text fields scattered across nested objects and arrays, and you want to quickly see or copy just the text content. You can optionally include numeric and boolean values, and optionally prefix each value with its JSON key name.

How to Use JSON to Text Converter

1

Paste your JSON into the input area or click "Load Sample"

2

Choose which value types to include (strings, numbers, booleans)

3

Optionally enable "Include Keys" to prefix each value with its key

4

Choose a separator (newline, space, or comma)

5

The plain text output appears instantly — copy or download it

Common Use Cases

  • Extracting all display strings from a localization JSON file.
  • Pulling readable text out of an API response for review or copying.
  • Checking what text values a JSON config or fixture contains.
  • Converting a JSON product catalog to a plain list of names.
  • Quickly scanning which string values appear in a deeply nested JSON structure.

Example Input and Output

A nested JSON object with strings, a number, and a boolean — only the string values are extracted by default.

JSON input
{
  "title": "Hello World",
  "tags": ["web", "tool"],
  "count": 5,
  "active": true
}
Plain text output
Hello World

Frequently Asked Questions

Which value types are extracted?

By default, only string values are extracted. You can toggle on "Include Numbers" and "Include Booleans" in the options panel to also extract numeric and boolean leaf values.

Are nested values also extracted?

Yes. The tool recursively walks all levels of the JSON tree — nested objects and arrays — and collects matching leaf values.

What happens to null values?

Null values are silently skipped. They are not included in the output regardless of options.

Can I extract values with their keys?

Yes. Enable "Include Keys" in the options to prefix each value with its JSON key name (e.g., "title: Hello World").

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. All extraction happens in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
