JSON to TypeScript

JSON to TypeScript

Convert JSON samples into TypeScript interfaces and type aliases. Automatically merges object-array fields, infers optional fields and null unions, and generates suitable type declarations for empty arrays and empty objects. Useful for API response modeling, frontend type bootstrapping, and data structure organization.

JSON to TypeScript

Quick Start

1
Paste a valid JSON sample into the left editor.
2
Optional: set a custom root type name such as ApiResponse before generation.
3
Review the generated declarations on the right. Object roots become interface declarations; array and primitive roots become type aliases.
4
Use Copy or Download to reuse the generated .ts output in your project.

Common Scenarios

Turn real API responses into starter TypeScript models for frontend pages, SDK clients, or integration tests.

Inspect mixed object arrays to see optional fields and union types before you formalize an API contract.

Convert mock JSON data into quick type definitions for fixtures, Storybook stories, or prototypes.

Review nested declarations such as User and Meta when backend payload shapes change.

Usage Advice

Use a representative JSON sample. The generator only infers from the values you paste, so missing cases will not appear in the output.
Empty arrays become unknown[], and empty objects become interfaces extending Record<string, unknown> until you provide richer sample data.
Nested declarations are normalized from property names, so newer output prefers names like User or Meta instead of older root-prefixed forms.
Generation only runs on valid JSON. Fix syntax errors first; the editor shows line and column details when parsing fails.
Valid custom root names are preserved as-is, while invalid names are normalized to a legal PascalCase TypeScript identifier.

Limitations & Compatibility

This tool infers types from sample data, not from a formal schema. Fields missing from your sample cannot be guessed.
Input must be strict JSON. Comments, trailing commas, and other JavaScript-only syntax are rejected.
Generated output does not include export statements. Add them yourself if your project requires exported declarations.
The result is static TypeScript code only. It does not create runtime validators, parsers, or serializers.
