Before converting

How to get a cleaner result

  • For structured data, make sure nested objects, quotes and separators are valid before conversion.
  • Try the built-in sample first to understand the expected input shape.
  • Check that the input is complete before copying or downloading the output.
  • If an error appears, reduce the input to a smaller section and test again.

Common issues

What to check if something fails

  • Invalid structure is the most common cause of conversion errors.
  • Copying from rich text editors can add hidden characters.
  • Large inputs are easier to debug in smaller chunks.
