Reading JSON and XML files in LibreOffice Calc

LibreOffice Calc automatically maps generic XML and JSON documents with linkable ranges to individual sheets. If a document contains multiple linkable ranges, each range is assigned to a separate sheet.

Note Icon

A linkable range is a section of a document containing tabular records.


Opening a JSON or XML file with linkable range

  1. Choose File - Open.

  2. Locate the JSON or XML file that you want to open.

  3. Click Open.

Note Icon

The structure of the original data in the source document is not restricted, as it is automatically analyzed and mapped to the sheet. However, this process is performed on a best-effort basis and may not work in all cases.
