How to Convert Properties ↔ JSON Step-by-Step

  1. 1Select Properties → JSON or JSON → Properties.
  2. 2Drop a .properties/.json file or paste the contents.
  3. 3Convert to build the other format.
  4. 4Download the result for your app or i18n bundle.
  5. 5Keep JSON values flat—nested objects are rejected on export.

Governing formula

properties(key=value) ⇄ JSON({ key: value })

Each non-comment properties line splits on the first unescaped = or : into a JSON string map. Export writes key=value lines with escaping.

Use the defaults, then adjust one input at a time to see the result update instantly—no sign up.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.

The FAQ section answered my questions before I even had to search. Smooth dark mode too.

Simple inputs, clear outputs. This replaced three bookmarks I used to juggle.
