Convert XLSX to JSON

XLSX files are Excel files that use the Office Open XML format, which Microsoft introduced with Excel 2007.

Like XLS files, XLSX files can have multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. They offer several advantages over the older XLS format.

Key features of XLSX files include:

• Better compression, resulting in smaller file sizes
• Enhanced security features, including password protection and digital signatures
• Better recovery from file corruption
• Support for more rows (1,048,576) and columns (16,384) per sheet
• Works with a wide range of applications and programming languages

XLSX files are based on XML and ZIP technologies, making them easier for third-party software to read and write.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format that's easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Originally created for JavaScript, JSON quickly became the go-to format for web data exchange because it's simple and versatile. Now it's used across many programming languages and platforms.

JSON is a staple in web applications. It can represent structured data from simple key-value pairs to complex nested objects and arrays, making it perfect for client-server communication.

Schema

JSON's flexible structure is great, but it can make data integrity and processing tricky, especially with large or complex datasets.

Konbert automatically figures out the schema of your JSON data. We scan your JSON file to identify its structure, making sure all data is accurately captured and maintained throughout the conversion process. This preserves the integrity of your information.

Character encoding

According to RFC 8259, strings in uploaded JSON files should be encoded in UTF-8.

If your file has non UTF-8 characters, you might run into errors when parsing your data.

Nested data

We can read and flatten nested objects and arrays if you want to convert them to flat data like CSV or Excel.
