JSON to CSV requires an array of objects: quick checks
JSON-to-CSV converters typically require a JSON array of objects. Learn how to verify the top-level shape and convert safely in your browser (no upload).
JSON array vs object (shape mismatch) Playbook
JSON array vs object (shape mismatch). Actionable remediation checklist with tool links and relevant guides.
TL;DR: Validate -> locate exact failing spot -> fix the minimal part -> re-validate.
Execution steps
- Validate input locally. Start with a validator or parser-friendly converter.
- Locate root cause. Use line/position/error token to isolate one failing place.
- Apply a minimal fix. Do not refactor all content at once.
- Re-validate and continue. Once clean, convert/export safely.
