What is Json Flattener
The JSON Flattener converts deeply nested JSON objects into flat key-value pairs using dot-notation paths. For example, {address: {city: "NYC", zip: "10001"}} becomes {"address.city": "NYC", "address.zip": "10001"}. This transformation is essential for importing JSON data into spreadsheets (which require flat structures), CSV exports, configuration management systems (which use flat key-value stores), and database columns. The tool handles arrays by using numeric indices (e.g., "items[0].name"), mixed nesting depths, and edge cases like null values, empty objects, and deeply nested structures. It preserves the original data types in the values while flattening only the key structure.
