JSON to TypeScript
What is a JSON to TypeScript?
Generate strongly-typed TypeScript interfaces (`interface RootObject { ... }`) and type aliases from JSON sample data. Recursively infers nested object structures, array element types, optional properties, primitive types, and null values.
Why Use This Tool?
- TypeScript Frontend Development: Quickly generate TypeScript interfaces for API response data in React, Vue, or Angular apps.
- Type Safety: Eliminate manual typing errors when creating TypeScript interfaces for backend API payloads.
- Nested Object Structuring: Automatically extract nested JSON objects into separate sub-interfaces.
How to Use
- Paste your sample JSON payload into the editor.
- Set Root Interface Name (e.g. `UserResponse`).
- Copy the generated TypeScript interface code.
Real Working Example
Input:
JSON: { "id": 1, "name": "John", "roles": ["admin", "user"], "address": { "city": "NYC" } }
Output Result:
TypeScript Code:
export interface Address {
city: string;
}
export interface UserResponse {
id: number;
name: string;
roles: string[];
address: Address;
}
Important Technical Details & Specifications
- Recursive Type Inference Engine: Recursively analyzes JSON types (string, number, boolean, null, object, array).
- Array Union Type Merging: Merges heterogeneous array element types into TypeScript union types (e.g. `(string | number)[]`).
- Local Memory Execution: Zero network overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it handle null values in JSON?
Null values are inferred as `any` or `null` optional types depending on your configuration.
Does it extract nested objects into separate interfaces?
Yes, nested objects are extracted into clean, reusable sub-interfaces.
Is it free?
Yes, 100% free.
Are my JSON payload samples saved on a server?
No, interface generation executes 100% locally in your web browser.
Can I export type aliases instead of interfaces?
Yes, toggle between `interface` and `type` export modes.
