Emits TypedDict shapes (Python 3.8+). JSON numbers map to float; coerce to int manually if needed.

What is JSON to Python?

Infer Python TypedDict classes from a sample JSON object, with proper handling of optional keys, nested dictionaries, and list element types. Useful for integrating an external API into a Python codebase with proper type hints, or generating starter stubs for a new service.

How do I use JSON to Python?

  1. Paste sample JSON.
  2. Set the root class name.
  3. Copy or download the generated Python.

When should I use JSON to Python?

JSON to Python emits TypedDict. For dataclass / attrs / pydantic output, pydantic-specifically has its own generator; we emit the lightest option. For TypeScript types instead, use JSON to TS.

Frequently asked
Does it generate dataclasses or plain dicts?

Dataclasses by default (with type hints for mypy / pyright). Switch to TypedDict for dict-based APIs, or Pydantic for validation-first workflows.

Does it handle optional fields correctly?

Yes — fields that are missing or null in any object become Optional[...] with a default of None.

What Python version does the output target?

Python 3.10+ style by default (union X | Y, from __future__ import annotations). Toggle 3.8 compatibility to get Optional[X] and Union[X, Y] instead.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your files never leave your device, and there is no server component for this tool.
