JSON to Markdown Table Converter

Turn a JSON array of objects into an aligned GitHub-flavored Markdown table with escaped pipes.

What this does

Turns a JSON array of objects into a GitHub-flavored Markdown table that you can paste into a README, pull request, issue, or wiki. The keys become the header row and each object becomes a row.

Example

Input

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Ada",
    "city": "London",
    "score": 9.5
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "name": "Grace",
    "city": "New York",
    "score": 8
  }
]

Output with default options

|  id | name  | city     | score |
| --: | ----- | -------- | ----: |
|   1 | Ada   | London   |   9.5 |
|   2 | Grace | New York |     8 |

Behavior

  • Columns are the union of keys across all objects, in first-seen order; missing values are left blank.
  • Pipe characters in values are escaped as \| and line breaks become <br>, so a cell never breaks the table.
  • Align columns with padding pads cells so the raw Markdown is readable too (width is counted in characters, so wide CJK text or emoji may look uneven in a monospace editor but renders correctly).
  • Right-align numeric columns uses --: in the separator row for columns where every non-empty value is a JSON number.
  • Nested objects and arrays are flattened into columns like address.city, or kept as JSON text in one cell.
  • Arrays of arrays and arrays of plain values are supported; mixed arrays and scalars are reported as errors.
