How JSON to JSON Lines works

Serializes each element of a JSON array as one independent compact JSON line. Embedded line breaks remain escaped inside strings.

Try an example

[{"id":1},{"id":2}] becomes two JSON Lines records.

Good to know

Processed in this browser. Maximum 100,000 input characters and 10,000 records. JavaScript JSON parsing can round large numbers and keeps the last duplicate key; quote identifiers to preserve them. An empty array produces empty output. Each record may be any JSON value.

Your privacy

Processing happens on this device for this tool. We do not upload your input, put it in share links or save it to your favourites. Closing this tab discards the working input; downloaded results remain wherever you save them.

When this tool is useful

Use JSON to JSON Lines when you need a quick, local result and want the rule or limitation visible alongside it.

How to use it

  1. Enter the input using the labels shown.
  2. Run the operation and review the result.
  3. Download or copy the result only after checking it.

Checks before you rely on the result

  • Processed in this browser. Maximum 100,000 input characters and 10,000 records. JavaScript JSON parsing can round large numbers and keeps the last duplicate key; quote identifiers to preserve them. An empty array produces empty output. Each record may be any JSON value.
  • Keep the original input when the operation creates a new copy.
  • Use the related tools below when the next step needs a different format.
