JSON to Python

About this tool

JSON and Python's built-in data structures line up closely — a JSON object maps naturally onto a Python dict, and a JSON array onto a list — which is exactly why Python's standard library json module can parse JSON directly into native Python objects with no configuration. Where the two genuinely diverge is in a small set of literal spellings: JSON's true, false, and null are lowercase keywords, while Python's equivalents — True, False, and None — are capitalized. Paste JSON directly into a Python file expecting it to work as a literal, and it'll fail with a syntax error on the very first boolean or null it hits.

This converter handles exactly that translation: every true becomes True, every false becomes False, every null becomes None, with everything else — strings, numbers, nested objects and arrays — carried across structurally unchanged, just reformatted with Python's indentation conventions. The result is a literal you can paste directly into a .py file and assign to a variable, and it'll behave exactly like the equivalent JSON parsed through json.loads() — because structurally, it is the same data.

This is a text-level conversion, not code execution — your JSON is parsed as data and re-serialized as Python syntax; nothing you paste is ever run. That distinction matters because the whole point of a tool like this is to give you a trustworthy starting point (test fixtures, mock data, hardcoded config) without introducing any risk from executing arbitrary input.

Strings are output with single quotes, matching common Python style conventions (though double quotes are equally valid Python and PEP 8 doesn't mandate either), and any single quote inside a string value is automatically escaped so the generated code stays syntactically correct. Everything runs locally in your browser; nothing you paste is uploaded anywhere.
