ConvertJSON is a free, open-source & simple plugin that converts valid JSON into a Lua table, all within a few clicks.

Just enter valid JSON and the plugin will automatically convert the JSON input into a module that contains the table in ReplicatedStorage.

This is useful because you don’t have to go to a third-party website in order to convert JSON into a Lua table, as you can convert it all in Studio.

Sorry to burst your bubble but, you probably spent a while making this.

I made this plugin so it could simplify converting JSON more user-friendly without having to run JSONDecode() in the command bar/when testing your game in Roblox Studio.

ohh my bad I thought you’d made something that had parsed through the string replicating the JSONDecode.

I’d recommend attaching a screenshot of the output too, because I’ve looked at your source code, and it looks like you’re pretty-printing it, which is really nice, whereas just using JSONDecode would output a single line.

I could’ve done with this plugin a couple of days ago when I was adding a copy of the catalogue to my game via the JSON API. I ended up using inspect and injecting the output of that into a module source.

ConvertJSON 1.1 has been released, with a minor change that adds a timestamp of when the output script was generated.

Can you add option to

  • disable the time stamp
  • provide a copyable text instead of creating a new modulescript
  • choose to use [“string”], [‘string’] or string as key

I also think it would be a good idea to allow larger json files to be compatible. I am trying a json with 1k blocks and it isnt working whatsoever.
