Exporting to JSON

JSON exports are best when you want to process submissions programmatically or preserve structured fields like arrays and objects. Formbase exports a JSON array where each item is the submitted data object.

Open the submissions tab

In the dashboard, open the form and go to the “Submissions” tab.

Export as JSON

Click the “Export” button and choose “Export as JSON”. The file downloads immediately.

Export format

[
  {
    "name": "Ada Lovelace",

  },
  {
    "name": "Grace Hopper",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "message": "Another submission"
  }
]

Only the submitted data is included. Metadata like IDs and timestamps stay in the dashboard.
