How to Convert Zod to JSON - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your Zod Schema

Start by pasting your Zod schema definition or Zod object that needs to be converted to JSON format. The tool supports Zod schema definitions, object validations, and nested structures.

Paste Zod code: Copy your Zod schema definition directly into the editor
Upload a file: Load Zod code from a .ts or .txt file on your computer
Try samples: Click sample buttons to see different Zod patterns (schemas, objects, nested structures)

Example: Zod Schema

Here's a typical Zod schema:

const userSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string(),
  age: z.number(),
  email: z.string().email(),
  isActive: z.boolean()
});
Step 2

Click Convert Button

Click the green "Convert" button to send your Zod code to our backend API for processing. The converter transforms Zod schema syntax to JSON format, handling type definitions, validations, and proper formatting.

Schema parsing: Zod schemas become JSON objects with sample values
Type conversion: Zod types (string, number, boolean) convert to appropriate JSON values
Nested structures: Handle complex Zod schemas with nested objects and arrays
Optional fields: Zod optional() and nullable() fields are handled appropriately

Example: Converted JSON Output

The same data in JSON format:

{
  "name": "",
  "age": 0,
  "email": "",
  "isActive": false
}
Step 3

Get Valid JSON Output

The tool produces properly formatted, valid JSON that's ready to use in your applications, APIs, or configurations.

Real-time validation: Green checkmark confirms your JSON is syntactically correct
Proper formatting: Beautified with correct indentation and structure
Ready for APIs: Use directly in TypeScript applications, REST APIs, or database storage
Step 4

Copy or Download JSON

Copy the JSON to your clipboard or download it as a .json file for use in your TypeScript projects, web applications, or REST APIs.

Copy to clipboard for immediate use
Download .json file for integration into your codebase
Use in TypeScript projects: Perfect for Next.js, React, Node.js, and modern TypeScript applications
Export options: Convert to readable tables or minify for production

What is Zod to JSON Conversion?

Zod to JSON conversion transforms Zod validation schemas into standard JSON format. This process converts Zod-specific syntax (z.string(), z.number(), z.object()) into JSON-compliant data structures for testing, documentation, and data interchange.

The conversion is essential for TypeScript developers using Zod for runtime validation who need to generate sample JSON data, create mock objects, or document API schemas. You can also convert other languages like Python to JSON or TypeScript to JSON using our related tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Zod schema to JSON?

Simply paste your Zod schema definition into the converter. It will automatically parse the schema and generate valid JSON with appropriate default values for each field type.

Does the converter handle nested Zod schemas?

Yes! The converter properly handles nested objects, arrays, and complex Zod schema compositions, converting them to equivalent JSON representations while maintaining the structure.

What Zod types are supported?

The converter supports Zod primitive types (string, number, boolean), objects, arrays, optional fields, nullable fields, and nested structures. These are converted to their JSON equivalents with appropriate default values.

Is the output valid JSON?

Yes! The converter produces standard, valid JSON that can be used in any application or API. The output is properly formatted and validated.

Is the Zod to JSON converter free?

Yes, completely free with no limitations on data size or conversion frequency. No registration required.
