CSV to JSON Converter Plugin Documentation

Overview

The CSV → JSON Converter is a simple, fast, and straightforward plugin that transforms any CSV file hosted at a URL into a clean, structured JSON file. Perfect for automations, integrations, and data processing inside Bubble — without relying on external APIs or heavy workflows.
The plugin fetches the CSV from the provided URL, converts it to JSON, and makes the result available in three different ways:

• ✔️ Automatic download to the user’s computer
  
• ✔️ Automatic upload to Bubble’s File Manager
  
• ✔️ Exposure of the final JSON file URL as a state
  

It’s ideal for anyone who needs to convert tabular CSV data into JSON quickly and reliably.

Description

The CSV → JSON Converter acts as a complete mini-pipeline for data transformation.
You simply provide a valid CSV URL, and the plugin handles everything automatically: downloading the file, interpreting the headers, converting the rows, and generating a ready-to-use JSON file.

You can choose how the output is delivered — as a direct download, an uploaded file on Bubble, or a state that returns the final URL.
