How do I convert JSON to plain text?

Paste your JSON, pick a text style and click Convert. The outline style prints each key and value on its own line and indents nested objects, which reads best for a person. Key paths print order.customer.city: Austin so every line stands on its own, and values-only drops the keys entirely. Numbers keep the digits JSON stored, so integers above 9,007,199,254,740,991 can lose precision because browsers parse them as doubles.
