JSON to Markdown List

Turn JSON into a nested Markdown list.

JSON as a bullet list

This renders a JSON object or array as an indented Markdown list, mirroring the nesting, so a payload becomes something readable to paste into docs, a PR, or notes.

It is useful for dropping a config or API response into documentation, a pull request, or notes, where a readable nested list communicates far better than a raw brace-filled blob.

Readable, not lossy-safe

It is for reading, not round-tripping back to JSON. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Your data is converted on your device and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What does this json to markdown list do?

Turn nested JSON into a clean Markdown bullet list.

How is nesting shown?

Each nested object or array gets a bold parent bullet, and its contents are indented two spaces beneath it, so the list mirrors the JSON structure.

How are array items labeled?

Plain values in arrays become simple bullets. Objects inside arrays are labeled Item 1, Item 2, and so on, with their fields indented under each item.

Where can I paste the result?

Anywhere that renders Markdown lists: GitHub READMEs and issues, Notion, Obsidian, Slack, or documentation tools. The keys are wrapped in ** so they display in bold.
