Read valid JSON and turn its nested values into a simple text list. Follow the exact input and settings below to reproduce this example. Open JSON to Text.
Prepare the source text
Open JSON to Text and choose Write or paste text, or upload a supported UTF-8 text file. The upload opens the editor; it does not run the tool. This example uses the exact source shown in the comparison.
Maximum input and result: 1 MB of UTF-8 text, with a 1,048,576-character input ceiling. Expanding transformations must also fit the result limit.
Use the exact example input
{"name":"Ada","skills":["writing","research"],"active":true}This text operation runs in your browser; its source and result are not sent for conversion. A draft may be kept in this browser tab when session storage is available. Clear removes the current draft; download important work before closing the tab.
Check how the tool works
This tool has no extra transformation options to set. Keep the source exactly as shown to compare the result.
The parser accepts valid JSON, including nested arrays and objects. It visits their values and writes each scalar value on a new line. Object keys are not included; numbers, booleans and null become their text representations. Strings can retain their own embedded line breaks.

Apply and inspect the result
Select JSON to Text when the input and settings are ready. In the saved example, the result begins: "Ada".
The output discards keys and structure. Keep the original JSON if field names, relationships or a round trip back to JSON matter. JSON numbers use the browser's standard number type, so very large integers can lose precision. Store exact identifiers as quoted strings.
Result overview compares input and result UTF-8 byte sizes. Check that the extracted values appear in the intended order; a smaller byte total reflects removed JSON syntax and keys, not proof that every field is suitable for your next task.
Result overview distinguishes changed, unchanged and empty results. An unchanged result means the selected operation did not alter the text; an empty result can be the expected outcome of removal or extraction.
Save the version you reviewed
Review the current result, then use the download icon to save a TXT file. The actual download in this example is named json-to-text.txt. Copy and download use the current result, so make any final wording changes before saving. Continue to can carry the result into a compatible next tool, where you review it before running another operation.
Editing the result hides the calculated details until you run the tool again. Copy and TXT download use the edited text; return to the source and reapply the tool to refresh the report.
