  1. 1 Enter Text: Paste the block of text or list where you need to change the separation.

  3. 3 Separate/Join: Click "Process Text" to instantly transform the list's format.

Why would I change the separator in a list?

Different programming languages (Python, JavaScript) or applications (database queries) require data lists to be formatted with specific separators, such as a comma-separated list for an SQL `IN` clause.

Does this work for converting CSV to JSON?

No, while CSV is separated, this tool is best for simpler list transformations. For CSV/JSON, use a dedicated Format Converter tool.

What are common separator characters?

Common separators include the comma (`,`), space (` `), new line (`\n`), pipe (`|`), and tab (`\t`).
