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

  1. Paste your sample JSON payload into the editor.
  2. Set Root Interface Name (e.g. `UserResponse`).
  3. 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.
