What does the JSON to TypeScript Interface Generator do?

It converts a JSON object into TypeScript interface or type alias definitions. Paste in any valid JSON and the tool instantly generates strongly-typed TypeScript code, including separate named interfaces for nested objects and correct types for strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, and arrays.

What is the difference between interface and type in TypeScript?

Both interface and type can describe the shape of an object. Interfaces support declaration merging (you can extend the same interface in multiple places) and are generally preferred for public API contracts. Type aliases are more flexible — they can represent unions, intersections, and primitives. For plain object shapes like those generated from JSON, either works; the choice is mostly a style preference.

What does the 'Mark fields as optional' option do?

When enabled, every generated field gets a question mark (e.g. name?: string) to mark it as optional. This is useful when your JSON represents a partial response where some keys may be absent, such as a PATCH request body or a nullable API payload.

How does the tool handle nested objects?

Each nested JSON object generates a separate, named interface or type. The name is derived from the parent key using PascalCase (e.g. a key named 'address' produces an interface called Address). Nested interfaces are printed before the root interface so you can copy the entire output and it will compile without re-ordering.

How are arrays handled when elements have different types?

If all elements in an array share the same type (e.g. all strings), the output is string[] or Array . If elements have multiple distinct types, the tool generates a union type like (string | number)[]. Empty arrays use unknown[] since no element type can be inferred.
