Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Java Properties to JSON Converter free to use?
Yes, the Properties to JSON Converter is completely free with no limitations. Convert as many properties files as you need without any registration or restrictions.
Is my properties data private?
Yes, all parsing and conversion happens locally in your browser. Your properties files, which often contain database URLs, API keys, and other sensitive configuration, never leave your device.
What is a Java Properties file?
Java Properties files (.properties) are a simple key-value configuration format used extensively in Java applications, Spring Boot, and Android development. They use key=value or key:value syntax with support for comments and multi-line values.
Why convert Properties to JSON?
Converting Properties to JSON enables using Java configuration with JavaScript applications, Node.js tools, and web services. It is also useful for migrating legacy Java configurations to modern microservices that prefer JSON or YAML.
Does the converter handle nested property keys?
Yes, the converter can interpret dot-notation keys (like database.host, database.port) as nested JSON objects. This creates a structured JSON output that mirrors the logical organization of your properties.
