What is ENV to JSON Converter?

ENV to JSON Converter is a free browser-based tool that transforms .env files into JSON objects and vice versa. It handles all standard .env syntax: comments, blank lines, quoted values with spaces, and the export prefix used in shell scripts.

  2. Paste your .env content or JSON object into the input area
  3. Click Convert to see the result
  4. Click Copy Output to copy the result to clipboard
  5. Use Load Sample to try an example

Features

  • Bidirectional conversion: .env ↔ JSON
  • Handles comments (# comment), blank lines, and the export prefix
  • Supports single-quoted and double-quoted values
  • Auto-quotes values with spaces when writing .env output
  • Runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server

FAQ

What formats does the converter support?

ENV → JSON: parses standard KEY=VALUE syntax including quoted values, export KEY=VALUE, and # comments. JSON → ENV: processes top-level string, number, and boolean values only.

Are nested JSON objects supported?

ENV files are flat key-value stores, so nested objects are not supported in JSON → ENV mode. For nested JSON, consider flattening the structure first (e.g., DB_HOST instead of db.host).

Is my data safe?

All processing happens client-side in your browser. Your environment variables and secrets are never transmitted to any server.

What happens to comments in .env files?

Lines beginning with # are treated as comments and skipped during conversion. Comments are not preserved in the JSON output.
