I built a simple tool: Excel JSON with validation (free beta)

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

I often had to convert Excel tables into JSON configuration files β€” and I kept doing it manually, making mistakes all the time.

So I built a small tool:

JSON Automator

➑️ Convert Excel (.xlsx) β†’ clean JSON

➑️ Optional config validation (required fields, ints, bools, URLs, duplicates)

➑️ No account, free (beta)


πŸš€ Try it here

https://json-automator.up.railway.app

Source code (FastAPI, Python):

https://github.com/Inoruth/json-automator


Why I built it

Many teams still keep configuration data in Excel.

But someone eventually has to rewrite everything into JSON β€” and mistakes happen easily.

I wanted something simple:

  • upload Excel
  • validate
  • get JSON
  • done.

I'd really appreciate feedback πŸ™

If you try it:

  • Did it help?
  • Anything confusing?
  • Any missing validation rules?
  • Bugs or edge-cases?

Comments are welcome β€” it will help me decide what to build next.

Thanks for reading! πŸš€
