JSON to ActionScript Converter

About the JSON to ActionScript Converter

Quickly turn JSON payloads into ActionScript objects and arrays ready for Flash, AIR, or Flex projects. This tool parses JSON, preserves nested structures, and outputs a strongly typed ActionScript data:Object literal you can paste into legacy codebases.

Key Features

• Nested Object Support: Recursively converts complex JSON objects into ActionScript Object literals.
• Array Handling: Converts JSON arrays to ActionScript arrays with proper indentation.
• Type Preservation: Keeps numbers, booleans, null, and strings intact.
• String Escaping: Escapes quotes, backslashes, tabs, and newline characters for valid ActionScript syntax.
• Instant Preview: Output updates live as you edit or paste JSON.
• Copy/Download: Copy to clipboard or download an .as snippet instantly.

How to Convert JSON to ActionScript

1. Paste or Upload JSON: Provide JSON text in the input box or upload a .json file.
2. Review the Output: Inspect the generated var data:Object = {...}; literal.
3. Copy or Download: Copy the ActionScript code or download it for reuse.
4. Integrate: Paste the snippet into Flash/Flex classes, services, or fixtures.

ActionScript Output Structure

• Root Object: Wrapped in var data:Object = {...}; for immediate assignment.
• Objects: JSON keys become ActionScript properties (e.g., name: "John").
• Arrays: Rendered as [ ... ] with nested values formatted on multiple lines.

Common Use Cases

• Flash/Flex Maintenance: Embed API responses directly into legacy applications.
• Offline Demos: Provide ActionScript demos that mimic real JSON payloads.
• Testing & Fixtures: Generate static ActionScript data for unit tests.
• Configuration: Convert JSON configuration files into ActionScript constants.

Example Conversion

JSON Input:

{
	"name": "John",
	"age": 30,
	"active": true,
	"skills": ["ActionScript", "Flex"],
	"profile": {
	  "city": "New York",
	  "remote": false
	}
}

ActionScript Output:

var data:Object = {
	name: "John",
	age: 30,
	active: true,
	skills: [
	  "ActionScript",
	  "Flex"
	],
	profile: {
	  city: "New York",
	  remote: false
	}
};

Best Practices

• Keep JSON keys simple and lowercase to align with ActionScript naming conventions.
• Review numeric vs string values—ActionScript treats all numbers as Number.
• Use the generated data object as a template; rename or split it into classes if needed.
• Validate JSON before conversion to avoid runtime parsing errors.

Privacy & Security

All JSON to ActionScript conversions run entirely in your browser via client-side JavaScript. Your JSON never leaves your machine, ensuring full privacy for proprietary payloads.

Start Converting JSON to ActionScript

Paste your JSON, review the formatted ActionScript object, and drop it straight into Flash, AIR, or Flex projects—no manual transcription required.
