Generate TypeScript interfaces from a JSON sample

Paste a real JSON response — from an API, a fixture file, or a database export — and get ready-to-use TypeScript interface declarations. This saves the tedious, error-prone work of hand-typing interfaces for large or deeply nested payloads, and gives your frontend or Node.js code proper type safety from day one.

How the type inference works

  • Nested objects become their own named interfaces, named after the property key (e.g. an address field produces an Address interface).
  • Arrays of primitives become typed arrays, like string[] or number[].
  • Arrays of mixed primitive types become a union array type, like (number | string)[].
  • Arrays of objects generate one shared interface for the item shape and reference it as Item[].
  • Interfaces with an identical field signature are automatically deduplicated so you don't get repeated, redundant types.
  • null values are typed as null — widen them to string | null etc. by hand if a field is sometimes populated.

Typical use cases

  • Frontend development: Type an API response before wiring it into a React, Vue, or Angular component.
  • Backend contracts: Quickly scaffold types for a Node.js/Express handler based on sample request or response bodies.
  • SDK & client generation: Bootstrap types for a small internal API client without a full code-gen pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. If your JSON is an array of objects, the tool generates one interface for the item shape plus a RootList type alias for the array itself.
Since type inference is based on a single sample, a field that's null in your sample is typed as null. If you know a field can be either a value or null across different responses, manually widen it to something like string | null.
Yes — set the “Root interface name” field before generating, and nested interfaces are named after their parent property automatically. You can always rename them afterward in your editor.
It's a lightweight, sample-based inference tool — great for quickly bootstrapping types. For strict, schema-driven type generation across an entire API, a dedicated code-gen tool paired with a JSON Schema or OpenAPI spec is more robust.
