Convert a Markdown pipe table to a JSON array in your browser

Paste a Markdown pipe table and get a JSON array of objects keyed by the header row. Conversion happens in your browser.

What this tool does

This tool parses the header row, the `---` separator row and every data row of a Markdown table, the same way the Markdown table formatter on this site does, and turns each data row into a JSON object keyed by the header cells. It is a quick way to pull structured data out of a README or wiki table.

How to use it

  1. Paste a Markdown table, including its header and separator row.
  2. Read the generated JSON array below.
  3. Copy the JSON output.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.

Frequently asked questions

Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing and formatting both happen in JavaScript in your browser tab, so nothing is sent to a server.
What if two columns share the same header text?
Later columns with the same header overwrite earlier ones in each row's JSON object, since object keys must be unique.
Why does it ask for a separator row?
The `---` row on line two is what marks a Markdown table as a table rather than plain text with pipes in it, so it has to be present for parsing to succeed.
