Why Convert JSON to PDF?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is excellent for data exchange between systems, but it's not ideal for human consumption or formal documentation. Converting JSON to PDF provides:
- Professional Documentation: Create formal reports and documentation from API responses or data exports
- Data Archival: Generate permanent, formatted records of JSON data for compliance and auditing
- Readable Reports: Transform complex nested data into easy-to-read formatted documents
- Sharing & Distribution: Share data with non-technical stakeholders in a familiar format
- Print-Ready Output: Create documents optimized for printing with proper pagination and formatting
View Types Explained
Tree View
Perfect for hierarchical data, the tree view displays JSON with proper indentation and color-coded syntax. Ideal for configuration files, nested objects, and API responses.
Table View
Automatically converts JSON arrays into formatted tables. Flattens nested objects and creates columns for each field. Best for datasets, lists, and structured records.
Cards View
Displays data in a grid of cards, perfect for collections of similar objects. Each card represents one item with its properties clearly labeled.
