DynamoDB JSON Converter

Convert DynamoDB typed JSON, JSON Lines, and S3 export .json.gz files to plain JSON, CSV, or Excel in your browser.

Checks before and after data conversion

1Before converting

  • Keep the source file and confirm its encoding and data format.
  • Check whether the first row contains headers and whether field names look correct.
  • For personal or sensitive data, confirm where processing happens and who will receive the output.

2After converting

  • Use the preview to verify text, column names, and row counts.
  • Open the result in Excel or the destination system and check dates and long numbers.
  • Save the converted file under a new name so it can be compared with the source.

What is DynamoDB JSON Converter?

Unmarshall AttributeValue types such as S, N, BOOL, M, and L into ordinary values and spreadsheet columns. Full and incremental exports are supported.

Read DynamoDB S3 exports directly

Read gzip-compressed JSON Lines from full DynamoDB exports, Scan responses with an Items array, and incremental records containing Keys, NewImage, or OldImage.

N values stay as strings to avoid losing precision. Nested maps become dot-notation columns, while sets and lists remain JSON arrays.
