What is Json Unflattener
The JSON Unflattener reverses the flattening process, taking dot-notation keys like "a.b.c" and reconstructing the nested object {a: {b: {c: value}}}. It handles arrays (using "items[0].name" notation), mixed nesting, and edge cases like numeric indices creating arrays versus string keys creating objects. The tool is essential for converting flat configuration files (like .env format) back into structured JSON, and for working with data that was flattened for storage in relational databases or spreadsheets.
How to Use Json Unflattener
- Step 1: Paste your input text into the textarea.
- Step 2: Click the Transform button to process the text.
- Step 3: The result appears in the output panel. Copy it using the built-in copy button.
