HTML Table to JSON Converter

About HTML Tables

HTML tables are used to display tabular data on web pages. They consist of rows and columns containing data cells, often with header cells that describe the data in each column.

Tables are commonly found on websites displaying data like product catalogs, financial reports, schedules, and statistical information that can be extracted for further processing.

About JSON Format

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate.

JSON is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language and is commonly used for APIs, configuration files, and data storage due to its simplicity and widespread support across programming languages.

Conversion Tips

• Table structure: Ensure your HTML contains properly formatted table elements with <table>, <tr>, <td>, and optionally <th> tags.
• Headers: If your table has a header row, enable "First row as headers" for proper JSON key mapping.
• HTML content: Choose whether to strip HTML tags from cell content or preserve them based on your needs.
• Multiple tables: The tool can process multiple tables from a single HTML document and will return an array of table data.
• Data types: The converter automatically attempts to convert numeric and boolean values from strings to their proper types.

Common Use Cases

Converting HTML tables to JSON is particularly useful in these scenarios:

• Web Scraping: Extracting data from websites that display information in table format.
• Data Migration: Converting legacy HTML table data to modern JSON format for web applications.
• API Integration: Preparing tabular data from HTML sources for API consumption.
• Data Analysis: Transforming HTML table data into JSON for analysis tools and databases.
