Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Excel to JSON?

Open exploremydata.com/app, drag your .xlsx or .xls file onto the page, then click Export and choose JSON. Each row becomes a JSON object, output as newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON).

Does it read all sheets?

ExploreMyData reads the first sheet of your Excel file by default. This keeps the conversion straightforward and the JSON output clean.

What JSON format is output?

ExploreMyData outputs newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON), where each line is a standalone JSON object representing one row. This format is easy to stream, grep, and import into databases.

Can I transform data first?

Yes. You can filter rows, select specific columns, rename fields, aggregate data, and apply 32+ transformations before exporting. Only the data you need ends up in the JSON output.
