About the SQL to JSON Tool
SQL dumps are convenient for moving data between databases and useless for almost anything else. When you need the contents of a dump inside an application, a test fixture, or a JavaScript environment, parsing those INSERT statements into JSON is the practical route.
This converter reads INSERT statements, maps column names to values, and produces a JSON array of objects. It is particularly useful for extracting seed data from a legacy dump without needing to spin up a database instance just to read it. Parsing runs in your browser.
How to Use SQL to JSON
- Paste your SQL INSERT statements into the input area.
- Press Convert to parse the statements.
- Review the JSON array produced from the rows.
- Copy the output for use in your application or tests.
When to Use This Tool
- Extracting seed data from a legacy database dump
- Converting SQL fixtures into JSON for a JavaScript test suite
- Migrating data from a relational dump into a document database
- Inspecting dump contents without restoring the database
- Preparing sample data for a frontend prototype
Things Worth Knowing
- Standard INSERT INTO table (columns) VALUES (...) syntax is expected.
- Multi-row inserts are supported and produce one object per row.
- Vendor-specific extensions, stored procedures, and complex expressions are not evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What SQL syntax does this handle?
Standard INSERT INTO statements with an explicit column list, including multi-row VALUES clauses. Statements without a column list cannot be mapped to keys.
Are NULL values handled correctly?
Yes. SQL NULL is converted to JSON null rather than the string "NULL".
Can I convert CREATE TABLE or SELECT statements?
No. This tool extracts data from INSERT statements. Schema definitions and queries contain no row data to convert.
What about escaped quotes inside strings?
SQL escape sequences within string literals are interpreted, so values containing quotes convert correctly.
