Frequently Asked Questions

What delimiters are supported?

How are CSV headers handled?

The first row is treated as headers and becomes the JSON object keys. Headers are automatically cleaned and formatted.

Can I convert CSV without headers?

Yes, if no headers are detected, the converter will generate column names like "column1", "column2", etc.

How are quoted values in CSV handled?

Quoted values are properly parsed, and internal quotes are handled according to CSV standards (doubled quotes).
