💡 Pro Tips:

- • For nested objects, try the "Flatten" option to create separate columns
- • Choose semicolon delimiter for Excel compatibility in some regions
- • Large datasets? Consider processing in smaller batches for better performance
⚠️ Common Issues & Solutions:
JSON parsing error: Unexpected token
Check for missing quotes, trailing commas, or invalid JSON syntax. Use the sample data as a reference.
Nested objects not flattening correctly
Enable the 'Flatten Nested Objects' option and ensure your JSON structure is consistent across all objects.
CSV output has extra columns
This happens when objects have different properties. Consider normalizing your JSON data first.
Special characters not displaying correctly
Ensure your JSON is properly encoded in UTF-8 and avoid using control characters.
