Code to JSON

Convert a loosely-formatted object/array literal (unquoted keys, single quotes, trailing commas) into strict, valid JSON.

Paste a JS/PHP-style object or array literal below - this tool normalizes common non-strict syntax into valid JSON.

This handles common non-strict patterns (unquoted keys, single quotes, trailing commas) - it isn't a general-purpose parser for arbitrary executable code.

What Does This Tool Do?

It accepts loosely-formatted, JSON-like data - unquoted object keys, single-quoted strings, trailing commas - and normalizes it into strict, standards-compliant JSON.

Why Use This Tool?

Data copied from JavaScript source code, a config file, or an AI-generated snippet often looks like JSON but isn't strictly valid - this tool fixes the common differences automatically instead of you editing every key and quote by hand.

How to Use It

  1. Paste your loosely-formatted object/array data.
  2. Click Convert.
  3. Copy the resulting strict, valid JSON.

Limitations

This handles common non-strict JSON-like patterns - it is not a general JavaScript/PHP code interpreter, so values that require actual code execution (function calls, variables) won't convert.
