About the JSON → TypeScript Converter

This tool allows developers to take raw JSON objects—like API responses, configuration files, or mock data— and instantly generate clean, strongly typed TypeScript interfaces. Instead of writing types by hand, you can copy and paste JSON and get ready-to-use definitions.

Key Benefits

Faster development: Stop wasting time manually writing out types.
Safer code: Catch type errors at compile time instead of runtime.
Maintainable: Works great for large and nested JSON structures.
Smart inference: Detects optional properties and generates string literal unions.

📦Example Use Case

Suppose your API returns the following JSON:

[
{ "id": 1, "status": "open", "user": { "name": "Ada" } },
{ "id": 2, "status": "closed", "user": { "name": "Grace", "email": "g@x.dev" } }
                            ]

The tool will generate TypeScript types like:


export interface Root extends Array<RootItem> {}
export interface RootItem {
    id: number
    status: "open" | "closed"
    user: User
}

export interface User {
    name: string
    email?: string
}

Notice how email becomes optional (email?: string) because it's not present in every object.

🛠When to Use

  • Quickly typing new API endpoints during frontend development
  • Generating models for mock data or testing
  • Documenting backend responses for better DX
  • Refactoring untyped JavaScript projects to TypeScript

FAQ

Does it support arrays at the root?

Yes, root-level arrays are automatically typed as Array<T> with smart inference for their items.

What about deeply nested objects?

Nested objects are expanded into their own interfaces. Identical shapes are de-duplicated where possible to avoid repetition.

Can I use the generated types directly in my project?

Absolutely! Just copy or download the output and drop it into your TypeScript project.
