Not trying to bash your project here, but why would I use a website for that when I can do it programmatically from the command line, without sending you my data? Get-Content foo.json | ConvertFrom-Json | Export-Csv foo.csv

Very valid point. But there are programmers, non technical people out there for whom this might be of some help. I was using a initial version of this tool locally and one of my friends found this tool helpful. I was also peeking it into vuejs at that time, so I thought of rewriting the tool in vueJS. I also threw some CSS into it and currently hosting it for free using Github Pages just to see if it is useful for people out there in real world. PS: I'm the creator of this tool. This tool is a client side app and makes use of browser's File API to read and parse files. Source code - https://github.com/palerdot/exceljson https://github.com/palerdot/exceljson

  Ah, I didn't realize it was happening client-side. That makes a lot more sense.

  To be honest, for your target audience, I'd charge a buck a conversion :)

What language / shell is that? Powershell?

PowerShell PM here. You just made my day :) Shameless plug, we're still in alpha, but this already works great with PowerShell 6 on Mac and Linux as well: https://github.com/powershell/powershell/releases https://github.com/powershell/powershell/releases Plug aside, the service looks great for quick conversions when PS isn't available (especially on mobile). Nice job with it. :)
