Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between NDJSON and JSONL?
NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON) and JSONL (JSON Lines) are interchangeable terms for the same format: a stream where each individual line is a standalone, valid JSON value.
How does the converter handle records with different fields?
The engine inspects all lines to build a complete union of unique keys as columns. If a record lacks a specific field, it receives an empty cell, preserving proper column alignment.
Are large log files safe to convert here?
Yes. Processing happens entirely in your local browser memory using JavaScript. No logs or records are ever uploaded to any server or third party.
