Text to JSON converter

How the text to JSON converter works

This tool parses plain text in key: value format — one pair per line — and converts it into a structured JSON object. Spaces around the colon are ignored. Numbers are automatically converted to numeric types; everything else becomes a string.

Input format

Each line should be a key: value pair. Keys with spaces are converted to underscores. Examples:

• name: John Doe → "name": "John Doe"
• age: 30 → "age": 30 (numeric)
• first name: Alice → "first_name": "Alice"

Use cases

• Quickly turning copied config data or environment variables into JSON
• Converting form submissions written in plain text to structured data
• Creating XML or JSON from notes or ticket descriptions for API testing
• Generating seed data for databases from plain text documents

API access

Convert programmatically: POST /api/v1/datatools/convert/text-to-json with body {"input": "name: John\nage: 30"}

For XML: POST /api/v1/datatools/convert/text-to-xml with optional "rootTag": "record"
