How to convert JSON to Properties

  1. Step 1 – Input JSON Configuration

    • Paste your JSON object (e.g., app settings, database config) into the left editor.
    • The tool handles nested objects and arrays automatically.
    • You can also Import JSON files directly from your computer.
  2. Step 2 – Automatic Conversion

    • The converter flattens the JSON hierarchy using dot notation keys (e.g., server.port=8080).
    • Arrays are converted using index format (e.g., hosts.0=server1).
    • Special characters and unicode values are properly escaped for Java Properties format.
  3. Step 3 – Export Properties File

    • Copy the result to your clipboard for use in Spring Boot application.properties or other Java apps.
    • Download as a .properties file to save your configuration.
Example: JSON to Properties
// Input JSON
{
  "server": {
    "port": 8080,
    "active": true
  }
}

// Output Properties
server.port=8080
server.active=true
