Read an ENV file into JSON

Developers and operations teams choose ENV to JSON when moving configuration or structured data between tools.

Read an ENV file into JSON, then reuse a structured result that is easy to review. Use it for free in your browser, with no account required.

How to use

Import a supported file or paste your environment configuration directly into the input area.
Check that each line follows the expected key and value structure before converting.
Run the conversion to turn the configuration into a readable JSON object.
Review the result, then copy or download it for use in your project.

Example

A typical case is a file holding environment variables for database names, API paths or feature flags. After conversion, inspect the JSON to confirm that keys, string values and numbers appear as expected. This helps you reuse the settings in another tool or application.

Limits and formats

The tool does not validate whether your configuration values are correct or safe for production.
Comments and empty lines may be handled differently depending on the source format you provide.
It does not merge multiple files or resolve external includes.
Always review the JSON output before using it in a critical application.

Where processing happens

All processing happens inside your browser. The file or text you import stays on your device and is not sent to an external service. Once the page is loaded, you can convert your data without any content-related network transmission.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert a file that contains comments?

Yes, you can import a file with comments. The exact handling depends on the format the tool recognizes. After conversion, read through the JSON to make sure no unexpected keys appeared, and adjust your source file if needed.

Is the result valid JSON?

The tool builds a JSON structure that you can review and copy. As with any automatic conversion, you may need to fix special characters or unusual values. Open the result in an editor and validate it before using it.

Can I use a very large file?

Because processing is local, the practical limit depends mostly on your browser memory and the file size. For a very large file, split it or test a smaller part first to avoid slowing down the tab.
