JSON to Java Entity (JPA)

Need the same types in another language? JSON to TypeScript, JSON to Go Struct, JSON to Rust Struct, JSON to C# Class, JSON to Java POJO, JSON to Python Dataclass. Or validate a document against a JSON Schema.

How to generate JPA Entity code from JSON

Paste a JSON object or an array of objects into the input box and press Generate. The root becomes an @Entity with an @Id and @GeneratedValue. Nested objects become @Embedded types or separate @OneToOne entities, and lists of values use @ElementCollection.

One input, every language

Your JSON stays in the box when you switch the language tabs, and the code is generated again at once. Each language also has its own page, so you can bookmark the one you use.

How types are worked out

• Whole numbers and numbers with decimals are told apart.
• Add more samples with Add sample: a key missing from some samples becomes optional, and null makes a type nullable.
• Arrays of objects are merged into one type, and nested objects become their own types named after the key.
• Keys that are not valid names in the language (such as first-name or 2fa) are renamed and mapped back, never rejected.

The sample JSON in the box above, generated with the default options:

{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "Ada",
  "email": null,
  "tags": ["x"],
  "address": { "city": "Pune", "pin": "411001" },
  "createdAt": "2026-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}

@Data
@Entity
@Table(name = "root")
public class Root {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id", nullable = false)
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "name", nullable = false)
    private String name;

    @Column(name = "email")
    private String email;

    @ElementCollection
    private List<String> tags;

    @Embedded
    private Address address;

    @Column(name = "created_at", nullable = false)
    private OffsetDateTime createdAt;
}

@Data
@Embeddable
public class Address {
    @Column(name = "city", nullable = false)
    private String city;

    @Column(name = "pin", nullable = false)
    private String pin;
}

• A single sample cannot show which fields are optional. Paste two or three different responses for a realistic result.
• A value that is always null gives no type information, so it is treated as a nullable string. Change it by hand if it is something else.
• Numbers are typed from the samples: 1 and 1.0 look the same in JSON, so use a sample with decimals where you need a float.
