JSON to Scala
Paste JSON and get a Scala case class — immutable, with auto-generated equality, copy, and pattern-match support. Nested objects become their own case classes.
JSON in, Scala out
Paste a typical JSON payload and the tool emits idiomatic Scala types — nested objects each become their own type.
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Alice",
"isActive": true
}Generated Scala appears here.
What you'll use this for
Skip the boilerplate. Whenever you have an example JSON payload and need typed code on the other side, paste and generate.
API client models
Generate DTOs for a third-party REST API from a sample response.
Database row types
Model JSON columns or document-store records as native Scala types.
Mobile + backend parity
Keep client and server types in sync — both generated from the same JSON.
Fixtures and tests
Turn fixture JSON into typed code for unit tests and integration mocks.
How to convert JSON to Scala
Paste your JSON
Drop a valid JSON object into the left editor. Arrays at the root work too — the first element is sampled.
Pick a class name
Default is Root. Use anything PascalCase that fits your domain.
Click Generate
Or leave auto-generate on for live updates as you edit JSON. Runs entirely in your browser.
Copy or download
Copy to clipboard or save as a .scala file ready to drop into your project.
Frequently asked questions
A case class is an immutable data carrier with auto-generated equals, hashCode, toString, copy, and a companion object with apply/unapply.
Yes — the output is plain Scala. Derive a Circe Codec or Play Format on each case class as usual.
Yes. Each nested JSON object becomes its own case class with PascalCase naming.
Yes. Completely free, no signup, no limits. Runs entirely in your browser.
About JSON to Scala
This tool converts a sample JSON payload into idiomatic Scala code. Every nested object is recursively turned into its own type with PascalCase naming, while keys are converted to the conventional case for the language.
Type inference
- Strings stay strings.
- Integers use the language's widest safe integer type (e.g.
long,Int,i64). - Decimals become double-precision floats.
- Arrays become a generic list keyed off the first element's type.
- Booleans map to the native boolean type.
- Nested objects recurse into their own type definitions.
Privacy
- All conversion happens locally in your browser.
- No JSON ever leaves your device.
- No signup, no tracking of payloads.
