json-to-plain-text is a lightweight npm package that converts JSON into a clean, human-readable plain-text.

Think of it as JSON.stringify(), but prettier, friendlier, and tailored for logs, debugging, and CLI output.

• 🔹 Convert JSON objects into easy-to-read plain text
• ⚡ Tiny & fast (zero dependencies)
• 🛠 Configurable separators, spacing, quotes, and array formatting
• ✅ Great for logs, debugging, reports, and CLI tools

Use json-to-plain-text when you need:

• 📑 Readable logs – no more squinting at raw JSON
• 🖥 CLI outputs – format objects neatly for the terminal
• 🧪 Debugging helpers – quickly inspect nested objects
• 📝 Reports/configs – human-friendly data printing

npm install json-to-plain-text

import { jsonToPlainText } from "json-to-plain-text";

jsonToPlainText(data: unknown, options?: Options): string

• data (required) – JSON-like input or JavaScript object.
• options (optional) – Customize the formatting.

import { jsonToPlainText, Options } from "json-to-plain-text"; const data = { place_id: "173937105", osm_type: "way", lat: "17.861533866867224", lon: "78.8081441896764", address: { city: "Hyderabad", state: "Telangana", country: "India", }, distance: 2, }; const options: Options = { separator: ":", spacing: true, squareBracketsForArray: false, doubleQuotesForKeys: false, doubleQuotesForValues: false, }; console.log(jsonToPlainText(data, options));

place_id : 173937105 osm_type : way lat : 17.861533866867224 lon : 78.8081441896764 address : city : Hyderabad state : Telangana country : India distance : 2
