JSON to TypeScript Interface Generator

Convert JSON to TypeScript interfaces online, including nested objects — free generator.

About

About the JSON to TypeScript Interface Generator

Reads a sample JSON object and generates a matching TypeScript interface, including a separate named interface for every nested object it finds.

Frontend and full-stack developers use it to quickly scaffold types for an API response without typing them out by hand, especially useful the first time they wire up a new endpoint. It's one of many free developer tools on Toolapt, and like every tool here, it's free to use with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you run it.

Guide

Using the JSON to TypeScript Interface Generator

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Paste a sample JSON object into the JSON box.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Set the Root interface name to whatever fits your codebase.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Click "Generate".

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Click "Copy" to copy the generated TypeScript interfaces.

  • Generates a TypeScript interface directly from a sample JSON object
  • Creates a separate, named nested interface for every nested object it encounters
  • Types arrays based on their first element, including arrays of nested objects
  • Lets you name the root interface, so it fits straight into your codebase
  • Wraps a non-identifier key in bracket notation automatically, so it stays valid TypeScript
  • Works entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is sent to a server
  • Free to use, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you run it

Frontend developers

Frontend developers use the JSON to TypeScript generator for quickly scaffolding types for a new API response instead of typing them out by hand.

Full-stack developers

Full-stack developers use the JSON to TypeScript generator for keeping a frontend's types in sync with a backend's actual response shape.

QA engineers

QA engineers use the JSON to TypeScript generator for building a typed fixture to match a sample payload during test setup.

Students learning TypeScript

Students learning TypeScript use the JSON to TypeScript generator for seeing how a JSON shape maps onto interface syntax.

Examples

JSON to TypeScript Interface Generator examples

4 worked examples

01

Simple flat object

Paste {"id":1,"name":"Ada","active":true} to generate interface Root { id: number; name: string; active: boolean; }, with every type inferred straight from the sample values.

02

Nested object gets its own interface

Paste {"user":{"id":1,"name":"Ada"}} and a separate interface User { id: number; name: string; } is generated, with the root interface referencing User as the property's type.

03

Array typed from its first element

Paste {"tags":["js","py"]} and the property comes out as tags: string[];, with the type taken from the array's first item.

04

Empty array

Paste {"items":[]} and since there's no element to infer a type from, the property comes out as items: any[];.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the JSON to TypeScript Interface Generator.

What does the JSON to TypeScript interface generator do?

It infers a TypeScript interface — including any nested interfaces — from a sample JSON object.

Is the JSON to TypeScript generator free to use?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it.

Is my JSON safe when I use this tool?

Yes. The interface is generated entirely on your own device — nothing you paste is sent to a server.

What happens if I paste a JSON array instead of an object?

The tool uses the first object in the array as the sample to infer the interface from.

How are nested objects handled?

Each nested object gets its own separate, named interface (named after its key), and the outer interface references that name as the property's type.

What type does an empty array get?

Since there's no element to infer a type from, an empty array is typed as any[].

Does the generated interface include optional (?) properties?

No. Every property from the sample object is generated as required; you may want to mark some as optional by hand if the real data can omit them.

Can I use this tool on my phone?

Yes. The page is fully responsive and works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers alike.
