SQL to JSON Converter

Convert SQL INSERT statements or a simple result-set-style table into a JSON array of objects.

Paste one or more INSERT statements for the same table - this tool converts each row into a JSON object using the column names as keys.

This converts literal INSERT data, not the live output of a real database - for a full round-trip, see the JSON to SQL Converter for the reverse direction.

What Does This Tool Convert?

It parses one or more INSERT INTO table (columns) VALUES (...) statements and converts each row of values into a JSON object, using the column names as keys - effectively turning static SQL data into a JSON array.

Why Use This Tool?

Useful when you have SQL seed data or a data export as INSERT statements and need the same data as JSON for a script, API mock, or JavaScript test fixture.

How to Use It

  1. Paste one or more INSERT statements for the same table (matching columns).
  2. Click Convert.
  3. Copy the resulting JSON array.

Limitations

This works on literal INSERT statement values - it cannot convert an arbitrary SELECT query to JSON, since that would require actually running the query against a real database, which this tool never does.

Frequently Asked Questions

SQL INSERT statements, or a simple table of results such as the text output of a query in a terminal. Each row becomes a JSON object with the column names as keys.

Numbers become JSON numbers, NULL becomes null and quoted values become strings. Dates stay as strings, because JSON has no date type.

No. It only converts the text you paste, in your browser.
