Frequently Asked Questions

What gets extracted from the JSON?

String values, numbers, and boolean values are extracted. Objects and arrays are traversed to extract their contents. Null values can be included or excluded based on your settings.

How are nested objects handled?

Nested objects can be flattened (all values on same level), indented (showing hierarchy), or processed with dot-notation keys (user.name: John). Choose based on your readability needs.

Can I extract only specific values?

This tool extracts all text values from JSON. For selective extraction, use our JSON Path Finder tool to query specific elements first, then convert those results to text.
