Question 1

Does this handle commas and quotes inside CSV fields correctly?

Accepted Answer

Yes — fields wrapped in double quotes can safely contain commas, newlines, and escaped quotes ("" for a literal "), which is where hand-written CSV parsers usually break.

Question 2

Are numbers converted to actual numbers in the JSON output?

Accepted Answer

No — every CSV value is kept as a string, even if it looks numeric. This avoids surprises like a postal code "007" silently becoming the number 7, or a phone number losing its leading zero.

Question 3

What JSON format is required for JSON → CSV?

Accepted Answer

A top-level array of flat objects, e.g. [{"name":"Alice","age":30}]. Nested objects or arrays as values aren't supported, since there's no single sensible way to flatten them into a CSV cell — you'll get a clear error instead of a mangled result.

Question 4

What happens if some objects have different fields than others?

Accepted Answer

The converter uses the union of every field found across all objects as the CSV columns. Rows missing a particular field just get an empty cell for that column.

Question 5

Is my file uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Both directions run entirely in your browser using the PapaParse library — your data never leaves your device.
