XLS to JSON Converter
XLS to JSON allows you to convert your Excel files to JSON format.
You can choose format of JSON: Compact, Pretty Printed or combination of both.
JSON format is very popular and if you need to transfer your data online, you can do it quickly and easily.
The program supports dBase III, dBase IV, FoxPro, VFP and dBase Level 7 formats.
The first tab allows you to select source files. You can select for conversion one or several files.
If the name of a file is expanded then you can select tables(sheets) for conversion.
If no tables are selected then all tables will be converted.
If you selected certain tables then only these tables will be converted.
Double-click on a file displays a Preview window.
The second tab allows you to select the output folder or file.
If you selected a folder or checked the option
[x] Create a separate file for each source file
then every source file(table) will be converted to a separate output file.
i.e.
filename.xls
sheet1
sheet2 | >> |
sheet1.json
sheet2.json |
another.xls
sheetA
sheetB | >> |
sheetA.json
sheetB.json |
If you selected a file then a content of all source files will be converted to this file.
Command line parameters are:
| -output=c:\target\tmp\ |
| -separate=1, -separate=0 |
Besides, you can define the program's behaviour what is necessary to do when an output file already exists.
Command line parameters are:
| -files=overwrite | Overwrite existing files |
| -files=use | Use existing files (append to the end) |
| -files=skip | Skip (do not convert a source file) |
| -files=unique | Create an unique name. example.json, example.1.json, example.2.json, ... |
| -files=ask | Ask for action for each file |
Encoding of the output file
Just select a desired value.
In the command line you have to use an exact phrase or a code page:
-incharset=windows-1251
-incharset=65001 (UTF-8)
The last tab allows you to customize the output file.

| -key=your_key | it allows to pass the registration key to the program and do not store it in program's settings |
| @c:\path\params.txt | read command line parameters from file. One parameter per line. |
If the converter does not have enough parameters or some error occurs then
