Examples

Example

Input

[1,[2,3],[4,[5]]]

Output

[
  1,

Common errors

The input is not valid JSON

Fix: Validate or format the JSON first before flattening the array.

The input is a JSON object instead of an array

Fix: This tool expects an array as the main input, not an object.

The user expects object fields inside arrays to be flattened into key-value output

Fix: This tool only flattens array nesting. It does not transform object structure.

FAQ

What does a JSON Array Flattener do?

It turns nested arrays into a single flat array.

Does it work on deeply nested arrays?

Yes. Nested arrays can be flattened across multiple levels.

Does it change object values inside arrays?

No. It keeps array items as they are and only removes array nesting.

What is the difference between JSON Array Flattener and JSON Split Tool?

JSON Array Flattener reduces nesting inside an array, while JSON Split Tool breaks JSON into separate parts.

Why is my result not changing?

The most common reasons are that the input is already flat, invalid, or not actually a JSON array.
