JSON to TypeScript types

Paste any JSON and instantly generate a TypeScript type definition.
Objects and arrays are inspected to infer field names and nested shapes,
so you can drop the output straight into your codebase.

Nothing is sent to a server—parsing and type generation run entirely in your browser.

Guide: How to use & features

  • Paste JSON into the input and click “Convert to TypeScript.”
  • Objects are formatted into a structured block with typed properties.
  • Arrays are analyzed to determine element types; mixed content becomes a union.
  • Use the copy or clear buttons to reuse the output or start over.

Samples: Sample input & output

Generate TypeScript types

Input

{"title":"Draft","tags":["dev","web"],"stats":{"views":1200}}

Output

type Root = {
    title: string;
    tags: string[];
    stats: {
        views: number;
    };
};

FAQ: Frequently asked questions

  • Do you output interfaces or type aliases?

    The tool outputs TypeScript interfaces by default, deriving property names and types from the JSON structure.
  • Are arrays and nested objects supported?

    Yes. Array element types are inferred, and nested objects are composed recursively into the generated types.
  • How are optional properties decided?

    If a field is missing in parts of the sample, it is treated as optional. You can fine-tune the output afterwards as needed.

Use cases: Common use cases

  • Bootstrapping type definitions

    Generate TypeScript interfaces from sample backend responses to kick off a type-safe implementation quickly.

  • Aligning contracts

    Turn shared JSON into types to clarify expectations about field names, optional flags, and shapes.

  • Lightweight review snippets

    Produce minimal interfaces you can paste into PR comments to focus discussion on structure over typos.

Notes: Notes & limitations

  • Work stays in your browser

    Inputs and outputs remain local. Closing the tab or clearing cache will remove any temporary state.

  • Validate critical data

    Results are helper outputs—double-check them before sending to production systems or sharing externally.

  • Large payloads depend on your device

    Very large text or files can feel slow in some browsers. Use a desktop environment for heavy workloads.

JSON to TypeScript Type & Interface Generator

Automatically generate TypeScript interface and type definitions with just one click by parsing sample JSON responses or dummy data payloads.
This drastically cuts down the hours spent manually writing type definition files required for strict type enforcement in modern frontend development frameworks (like Next.js, React, or Vue). It seamlessly parses deeply nested objects and arrays, integrating smoothly into your secure, local workflow.

Common use cases

  • Type API responses: Paste a real response body and create a starting point for frontend types.
  • Document payload shape: Turn sample JSON into readable TypeScript definitions for teammates.
  • Speed up prototyping: Generate temporary interfaces while exploring unfamiliar APIs.

Review before production

Generated types are inferred from the sample you provide. If an API can return optional fields, nullable values, mixed arrays, or error responses, review the generated result and adjust it to match the real contract.
