Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively
The SQL to JSON Converter parses SQL INSERT statements and transforms them into JSON format. It extracts the table name, column names, and row values from INSERT INTO ... VALUES statements and outputs a JSON array of objects where each object represents a row. The tool handles multiple INSERT statements and various SQL value formats. All processing happens in the browser.
This tool parses SQL text to find INSERT statements, extracts the column list and value tuples, and maps each row to a JSON object with column names as keys. It handles quoted strings, numbers, NULL values, and escaped characters in the SQL values.
