Formula & How It Works

Header = Keys(Obj[0]).join(','); Row = Values.map(v => '"' + v.replace(/"/g, '""') + '"')

Extracts keys as headers and escapes commas and double-quotes per row.

Worked Examples

Input: [{"id": 1, "product": "Laptop", "price": 999}]

Explanation: Generates clean RFC 4180 header row followed by itemized data records.

Result: "id","product","price"\n"1","Laptop","999"

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I open the generated CSV in Microsoft Excel?▼

Yes, our CSV output complies with the universal RFC 4180 standard, which opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers.

How are commas and quotes handled inside data fields?▼

Fields containing commas are enclosed in quotes, and internal quotes are escaped by doubling them according to RFC 4180 rules.

What if some objects in the array have missing keys?▼

Missing keys are safely rendered as empty string fields ("") to keep table column alignment perfectly intact.

Is my data sent to any third-party server?▼

No. The entire JSON parsing and CSV export operates 100% locally inside your web browser.
