JSON and Markdown — Converting Between Formats

JSON and Markdown serve different purposes, but there are many scenarios where you need to convert between them. This guide covers both directions and when to use each.

JSON to Markdown

Converting JSON to Markdown is useful when you want to display data in a human-readable format. Our JSON to Markdown converter automatically creates:

• Tables — From arrays of objects
• Lists — From nested structures
• Code blocks — For raw JSON display

Example: JSON to Table

Input JSON:

{
  "users": [
    {"name": "Alice", "role": "Developer"},
    {"name": "Bob", "role": "Designer"}
  ]
}

Output Markdown:

| name  | role      |
|-------|-----------|
| Alice | Developer |
| Bob   | Designer  |

Markdown to JSON

Converting Markdown to JSON is useful for:

• API integration — Send document structure to APIs
• Content management — Store documents as structured data
• Automation — Process Markdown programmatically

Our Markdown to JSON converter turns:

• # Headings → JSON keys
• - Lists → Arrays
• Paragraphs → String values

Example: Markdown to JSON

Input Markdown:

# Project

A great project.

{
  "project": "A great project.",
  "features": ["Fast", "Free", "Private"]
}
