Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert JSON to TSV instead of CSV for spreadsheet workflows?
Converting JSON to TSV allows you to click 'Copy to Clipboard' and paste directly into Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets (`Ctrl+V`) with perfect multi-column alignment, without needing to import a file or configure text-to-columns delimiter wizards.
How are tab characters (`\t`) inside JSON strings handled during TSV export?
To prevent raw tabs inside string data from breaking the tabular column structure, internal tab characters are sanitized by replacing them with four spaces (` `) or standard escaped `\t` sequences.
Can JSON to TSV export arrays of primitive values?
Yes. An array of primitive values (`["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]`) is exported as a single column with each item on its own row, with an optional header name.
Is converting JSON to TSV secure for enterprise database records?
Yes. The entire conversion execution runs locally in your browser's client-side V8 JavaScript engine. No JSON data, customer records, or API credentials are ever uploaded to an external server.
