Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Data Converter really free?
Yes. JSON ↔ XML ↔ CSV ↔ YAML in every direction is free — no signup, no API key, no row caps. The only practical limit is what your browser can hold in memory.
Does my data leave my device?
No. Parsing and conversion run via JavaScript in your browser. Your payloads — including production exports, customer data, or API tokens — never touch any CleverTools server.
Which directions are supported?
All twelve. Any format → any other format: JSON ↔ XML ↔ CSV ↔ YAML in any combination. Internally the converter pivots through JSON, so a CSV → YAML conversion is just CSV → JSON → YAML stitched together.
Will it handle CSV with quoted commas, escaped quotes, and multi-line cells?
Yes. CSV parsing uses PapaParse, which is RFC-4180 compliant — it correctly interprets quoted fields, commas inside quotes, escaped double-quotes, and embedded newlines inside cells.
How is YAML handled?
YAML uses a built-in parser that supports nested objects, arrays, scalar types (strings, numbers, booleans, null), and standard 2-space indentation. Block scalars (| and >) are detected; for advanced YAML features (anchors, multi-doc), prefer the JSON pivot first.
Can it convert XML SOAP responses to JSON?
Yes — paste the SOAP XML body, pick XML as input and JSON as output. The DOMParser-based reader extracts <item> elements and their child fields into a JSON array. Wrap your SOAP body in <root><item>…</item></root> if it isn't already structured that way.
What's the largest payload it can handle?
Limited only by browser memory. Most laptops handle 5–20 MB JSON / XML files comfortably; CSV with 100K+ rows works fine. If you hit a freeze, split the file or reduce the payload.
Why does my CSV-to-JSON output have all-string values?
The Data Converter preserves CSV cells as strings to avoid silent precision loss on long numeric IDs (Aadhaar, mobile, GSTIN). For typed conversion (numbers, booleans, nulls), use the dedicated CSV to JSON tool which has an explicit type-inference toggle.
