Use this JSON to JavaScript generator to create JSDoc types or runtime-friendly models from JSON samples for Node.js and frontend apps.
Step 1 – Paste a JSON sample
- Paste a representative JSON object or array into the left editor.
- Include nested objects, arrays, and nullable fields so types are inferred correctly.
- Use
Import to load JSON from a file, URL, or sample data.
Step 2 – Choose JavaScript output options
- Decide whether you want plain objects, JSDoc typedefs, or class-like helpers.
- Review how optional fields are represented and document them clearly.
- Keep naming consistent with your codebase (camelCase vs snake_case).
Step 3 – Review the generated code
- Check field names, types, and how arrays/objects are modeled.
- Adjust options like
Root Type Name, null handling, and frameworks if available. - If a field is inferred incorrectly, tweak your sample JSON and regenerate.
Step 4 – Use the output in your JS project
- Copy the output into your project and wire it up where you parse JSON.
- Validate inputs at runtime if you rely on dynamic typing.
- Consider generating a JSON Schema to enforce contracts.
Step 5 – Copy or download
- Copy the output into your project or download it as a file.
- Run your formatter/linter to match your code style.
- Add JSON parsing/serialization libraries if your language requires them.
Example output (simplified)
// JSON input
{
"id": 123,
"name": "Maeve Winters",
"email": "maeve@example.com",
"active": true,
"roles": ["admin", "editor"],
"metadata": { "plan": "pro" },
"createdAt": "2024-03-01T10:15:00Z",
"score": 99.5,
"notes": null
}
// Generated JSDoc types (simplified)
/**
* @typedef {Object} Metadata
* @property {string} plan
*/
/**
* @typedef {Object} Root
* @property {number} id
* @property {string} name
* @property {string|null} email
* @property {boolean} active
* @property {string[]} roles
* @property {Metadata} metadata
* @property {string} createdAt
* @property {number} score
* @property {null} notes
