JSON to Code Generator

Convert JSON to Java POJO, TypeScript interface, C# class, Python dataclass, Go struct, Protobuf message, and more

Paste JSON data or an array of objects. For arrays, the first item's structure will be used.

What is JSON to Code Generator?

This tool converts JSON data into type-safe class definitions for multiple programming languages. It analyzes your JSON structure and generates appropriate fields, types, and annotations based on the target language. This is essential when working with REST APIs - instead of manually creating POJOs or interfaces, you can paste the API response and instantly get the code you need.

How to Use

  1. Paste your JSON data into the input field. This can be a single object or an array of objects.
  2. Select your target language (Java, TypeScript, C#, Python, Go, Kotlin, or Protobuf).
  3. Enter a class/interface name for the generated code.
  4. Configure language-specific options if needed (annotation style, builder pattern, etc.).
  5. Click 'Generate Code' to create the type definition.
  6. Copy the generated code or download it as a file for your project.

Why Use This Tool?

Save time - no need to manually write POJOs, interfaces, or structs
Reduce errors - automatic type inference ensures correct types
Consistent naming - proper conversion between JSON keys and language conventions
Flexible output - multiple annotation styles and code patterns
Works offline - all processing happens in your browser
Array support - automatically detects array structures and generates appropriate types

Tips & Best Practices

  • For Java Spring Boot projects, use Jackson annotations for proper serialization
  • Use the builder pattern for complex Java objects with many fields
  • For TypeScript frontend apps, use interface for API response types
  • Pydantic models are great for Python FastAPI projects with validation
  • Go structs with JSON tags work perfectly with encoding/json package
  • For Protobuf, use proto3 syntax for modern gRPC services
  • If your JSON has varying field types, consider making fields optional

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tool handle JSON arrays?

When you provide a JSON array, the tool analyzes the first object in the array and generates a class/struct for that structure. This is useful for API responses that return lists of items - you get the correct type for each element.

What Java annotation styles are supported?

We support three styles: Jackson (@JsonProperty) for Spring Boot and most Java projects, Gson (@SerializedName) for Google's Gson library, and no annotations for simple cases where field names match JSON keys exactly.

Can I customize the generated code?

Yes! Each language has specific options: Java can include constructors, toString, and builder pattern; TypeScript can use type vs interface; C# can use record syntax; Python can use Pydantic; Go can include JSON tags; Protobuf supports proto3 syntax and package declaration.

How are types inferred from JSON values?

The tool examines each value: strings become String/str, numbers become Integer/int or Double/float depending on whether they have decimals, booleans become Boolean/bool, arrays become List/array types, and nested objects create separate type definitions.

Why use this instead of manual coding?

For APIs with complex responses, manually creating POJOs with 20+ fields is tedious and error-prone. This tool gives you correct types, proper annotations, and consistent naming in seconds. It's especially valuable when integrating with multiple APIs.

Is my JSON data secure?

Absolutely. All code generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your JSON is never sent to any server, never stored, and never logged. This makes it safe for API responses containing sensitive data like user information or credentials.
