JSON to Java & JavaScript Converter

HOW TO USE THIS TOOL ?

About this Tool– JSON to Java & JavaScript Converter

One day I was working on legacy project where in i was facing issues for converting json to pojo java classes as there were so many json files that i need to parse and then i came up with this tool to help me do it faster. Converting JSON data into strongly typed Java classes (POJOs) is one of the most repetitive tasks in backend development. This tool automates the process. Whether you are using Jackson, Gson, or standard Java serialization, this converter takes your raw JSON object and outputs a clean, production-ready Java class.

Features: JSON to Java & JavaScript Converter

• Instant POJO Generation: Generates private fields, getter/setter methods, and toString() methods automatically.
• Smart Type Detection: Automatically detects if a field is an Integer, Boolean, String, or a nested Object.
• Client-Side Privacy: Unlike other converters that send your data to a backend server, this tool runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your sensitive API data never leaves your machine.
• JS Parser Logic: Need to parse this in frontend JavaScript? We also generate safe parsing logic to handle potential null values or missing keys in the JSON response.

How to use: JSON to Java & JavaScript Converter

1. Paste your valid JSON string into the “Input” box.
2. Select your target language (Java or JavaScript).
3. Click “Convert.”
4. Copy the generated Class code directly into your IDE (IntelliJ/Eclipse).

Examples below

Here look at the below screen it shows the configuration part of the Convertor :

here select the desired style for java and js style from the drop down then next step is to copy and paste your json data in next filed and click on Parse Json Fields button

as shown below

As you can see in the above screenshot once you click on the parse button you can see the fields selection section where you need to select or deselect

the fields that you want to include in the code for java and js. That’s it now click on the Generate Code to get the desired java and js code.

What is AutoName ?

Root Name Detection

1. Click “Clear All” button
2. Paste new JSON like:

json

{
  "customer": {
    "id": 1001,
    "name": "Test Customer"
  }
}

3. Click “Parse JSON Fields”
4. Should auto-detect and set Java class name to “Customer” and JS object name to “customerData”

TOOL FUNCTIONALITY FAQs

Q1: What exactly does this JSON to Code Converter tool do?

A: This tool converts JSON data into ready-to-use Java and JavaScript code. It analyzes your JSON structure and generates:

• Java POJO classes with getters/setters
• Java Records (Java 14+)
• Lombok-annotated classes
• JavaScript object literals
• ES6 Classes
• TypeScript interfaces
  The unique feature is field selection – you choose which JSON fields to include in the generated code.

Q2: How does the field selection feature work?

A: After parsing your JSON, the tool displays all fields in an interactive tree. Each field has a checkbox. When you deselect a field:

• It’s excluded from Java class generation
• It’s removed from JavaScript objects
• Nested objects only generate if at least one child field is selected
  This gives you complete control over the output structure.

Q3: Does this tool work with complex nested JSON structures?

A: Yes, the tool handles:

• Nested objects (multiple levels deep)
• Arrays of objects
• Mixed data types
• Null values
• Complex hierarchies
  The generated code maintains the proper parent-child relationships for selected fields.

TECHNICAL FAQ

Q4: What programming languages and frameworks does this tool support?

A: The converter generates code for:

• Java: Traditional POJOs, Records, Lombok annotations
• JavaScript: Object literals, ES6 Classes
• TypeScript: Interfaces with proper typing
• Output formats: JSON, formatted code with proper indentation
  All code is vanilla – no framework dependencies required.

Q5: How accurate is the type inference for generated code?

A: The tool intelligently detects data types:

• Strings → String (Java) / string (TypeScript)
• Numbers → Integer/Double (Java) / number (TypeScript)
• Booleans → Boolean (Java) / boolean (TypeScript)
• Arrays → List<Type> (Java) / Type[] (TypeScript)
• Dates → LocalDateTime (Java) if field name contains “date” or “time”
• Objects → Nested class definitions

Q6: Can I customize the generated code style?

A: Yes, you can customize:

• Java class naming conventions
• JavaScript object names
• Indentation style (preserved from input)
• Field naming (camelCase vs snake_case preserved)
• Import statements (Java)
• The tool uses your JSON field names exactly as provided.

USAGE & DEPLOYMENT FAQs

Q7: Do I need to install anything to use this tool?

A: No installation required! This is a 100% browser-based tool that runs entirely in your web browser using:

• HTML5

PERFORMANCE & LIMITS FAQs

Q11: What are the size limits for JSON input?

A: The tool has sensible limits to ensure performance:

• Maximum size: 100KB JSON input
• Maximum depth: 10 nesting levels
• Maximum fields: 1,000 total fields
• Performance Safety: We recommend <1000 fields per paste to prevent your browser tab from freezing.
  These limits prevent browser crashes while handling most real-world API responses.

Q12: Does this tool handle circular references in JSON?

A: The tool detects and prevents circular reference issues:

• Validates JSON structure before parsing
• Limits nesting depth to prevent infinite recursion
• Provides clear error messages for problematic JSON
• Suggests fixes for common JSON structure issues

A: The tool provides helpful error handling:

• Detailed error messages pointing to the issue
• Line number indicators for large JSON files
• Syntax highlighting for easier debugging
• Suggestions for common JSON formatting errors
• Option to load examples to see proper formatting

Q13: How is this different from other online JSON converters?

A: Key differentiators:

• Field selection: Choose exactly which fields to include
• Multiple formats: 6 different output formats in one tool
• No uploads: Everything processes locally
• No dependencies: Pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript
• Mobile optimized: Works perfectly on all devices
• Open source: Full access to modify everything

Q15: Can this tool replace my IDE’s code generation plugins?

A: This complements IDE tools by offering:

• Browser accessibility: Use anywhere without IDE
• Quick prototyping: Faster than configuring IDE plugins
• Team sharing: Easier to share conversion rules
• Learning tool: Understand the generated code structure
• Custom workflows: Integrate into your build process

Q16: Does this support batch processing of multiple JSON files?

• Script automation using the tool’s functions
• Modify the code to add batch processing
  The architecture supports easy extension for batch operations.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQs

Q17: The tool isn’t generating code – what should I check?

A: Common issues and solutions:

1. JSON syntax: Ensure valid JSON (use JSONLint)
2. Field selection: Select at least one field
3. Browser compatibility: Use Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Safari latest
4. JavaScript enabled: Ensure JS isn’t blocked
5. File size: Check if JSON exceeds 100KB limit
6. Parse button: Remember to click “Parse JSON Fields” first

Q18: Why are some fields missing from the generated code?

A: Check these possibilities:

• Field was deselected in the tree view
• Parent object had no selected fields
• Array was empty in the JSON
• Null values might be treated differently
• Nested object had all fields deselected
  Use “Select All” button to include everything, then deselect specific fields.

Q19: Can I convert the generated code back to JSON?

A: While this tool is for JSON → Code conversion:

• Generated JavaScript objects can be serialized back to JSON
• Java POJOs can be serialized with Jackson/Gson
• The tool focuses on one-way conversion
• Consider it for creating data models from API responses
