Direct answer
A JSON-to-TypeScript generator infers compile-time declarations from observed values. These declarations improve editor and build-time checks, but they do not validate data at runtime.
Generate the declarations, review the inferred edge cases and add runtime validation where needed.
Input JSON
Output TypeScript
1export interface Root {2user: User;3}45export interface Address {6city: string;7zip: string;8}910export interface Profile {11age: number;12address: Address;13}1415export interface User {16id: number;17name: string;18email: string;19isActive: boolean;20roles: string[];21profile: Profile;22lastLogin: string;23}24
How to use it
- Paste/upload JSON or fetch a supported public sample.
- Set the root name, interface/type style, optional fields, array syntax, nested extraction, readonly/export and semicolon preferences.
- Review missing unions/nulls/optional cases, then copy or download the
.tsoutput.
Key features and settings
- Interface or type-alias output.
- Optional-field and array-style controls.
- Extracted nested declarations plus readonly/export options.
unknown-over-anypreference and optional string-literal unions.
Supported input and output
Input: JSON text or file, a supported public URL. Output: .ts.
Use cases
- Create frontend models from an API example.
- Document nested response shapes during integration.
- Compare static types with a Zod schema when runtime validation is also needed.
Which workflow should you choose?
Use JSON to TypeScript Generator for: Interface or type-alias output. Use JSON to Zod Schema Generator for: Configurable schema name and output style.
Privacy and data path
In the current implementation, pasted/uploaded content is processed in the browser, while “Extract from URL” uses a server-side proxy to fetch the source.
Limits and troubleshooting
- One payload cannot reveal every optional field or union branch.
- Use JSON to Zod or another runtime validator when untrusted data must be checked after parsing.
- There is no universal size promise; large-input performance depends on browser memory and device capability.
FAQ
Do TypeScript types validate JSON at runtime?
No. TypeScript types are erased at runtime. Use a runtime schema such as Zod when the application must reject invalid payloads.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
In the current implementation, pasted/uploaded content is processed in the browser, while “Extract from URL” uses a server-side proxy to fetch the source.
What are the file or data limits?
There is no universal size promise; large-input performance depends on browser memory and device capability.
Does it work on mobile?
The page is web-based and may work in a modern mobile browser, but file-picker behavior, memory and cross-device compatibility are not verified for every device. Use a desktop browser for large or complex inputs.
Which workflow should you choose?
Use JSON to TypeScript Generator for: Interface or type-alias output. Use JSON to Zod Schema Generator for: Configurable schema name and output style.
