Convert JSON to a LaTeX Table

How to use Convert JSON to a LaTeX Table

1. 1. Paste your JSON array. Paste a JSON array of objects, the shape that maps naturally onto a table, where each object's keys become columns and each object becomes a row.
2. 2. Choose header and column alignment. Turn on Include header row to print column names on the first line of the table, and pick Left, Center or Right for Column alignment to control how content sits within each cell.
3. 3. Copy the LaTeX table. Copy the generated tabular environment and paste it directly into a LaTeX document, ready to compile alongside the rest of your paper, report or thesis.

When to use Convert JSON to a LaTeX Table

Convert JSON to a LaTeX Table turns a JSON array of objects into a ready-to-compile tabular environment. Reach for it when you are writing a paper or report in LaTeX and your source data lives as JSON rather than a table you typed by hand.

• Including experimental results in a research paper. You collected results as a JSON array from an experiment script and need them formatted as a proper LaTeX table for the results section of a paper.
• Building a comparison table for a technical report. You have benchmark data exported as JSON and want it as a formatted table in a LaTeX-based technical report without retyping every value by hand.
• Generating a table for a thesis appendix. A thesis appendix needs a data table sourced from a JSON export, and typing the tabular markup manually for dozens of rows would be tedious and error-prone.
• Producing a table for a conference slide deck built in LaTeX. You are using a LaTeX-based slide tool like Beamer and need a quick table from JSON data without hand-writing the tabular syntax for every row.

Examples

[{"name": "Ada", "age": 36}, {"name": "Grace", "age": 45}]

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
name & age \\
\hline
Ada & 36 \\
Grace & 45 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
