How does Markdown to JSON conversion work?

YAML frontmatter (between --- delimiters) becomes a JSON object. Markdown tables become arrays of objects. Heading hierarchy (h1, h2, etc.) becomes nested JSON. Bullet lists become arrays.

What Markdown features are supported?

YAML frontmatter, headings (h1-h6), Markdown tables, bullet lists (-, *, +), and plain text paragraphs. The tool automatically detects each element and picks the best JSON representation.

Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your Markdown content is never uploaded to any server.

Can I edit the JSON after conversion?

Absolutely. You can copy the JSON to clipboard, download it as a .json file, or open it directly in our JSON Editor for further editing.
