How does the converter handle CSV headers?

The first row of your CSV is treated as headers and becomes the keys for each JSON object. Each subsequent row becomes a JSON object with those keys. This is the standard conversion pattern for CSV to JSON.

Does the tool convert string values to proper types?

Yes, the converter auto-detects numeric values, boolean strings (true/false), and null values, converting them to their proper JSON types. You can disable this feature if you want all values to remain as strings.

What happens with empty CSV cells?

Empty cells are converted to null values in the JSON output. This maintains data structure consistency while clearly indicating missing data points.

Can I convert CSV with special characters?

Yes, the converter properly handles quoted fields containing commas, newlines, and escaped quotes. It follows standard CSV parsing rules to ensure all special characters are preserved correctly in the JSON output.

What's the output format?

The default output is a JSON array of objects, where each object represents a CSV row. You can also choose a keyed object format where a specified column becomes the key for each row object.
