How to Convert CSV to Go Structs - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your CSV Data

Paste or upload CSV data from Excel exports, database dumps, or any comma-separated file.

Example: CSV Data

id,name,email,age,is_active
1,Alice,[email protected],30,true
2,Bob,[email protected],25,false

Step 2

Automatic Type Inference

The converter automatically detects column types (int, int64, uint64, float64, bool, string) from sample data and generates typed Go struct fields.

Step 3

Configure Options

Choose delimiter (auto-detect, comma, semicolon, tab, pipe), customize struct name, and toggle JSON/CSV tags.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does CSV to Go handle different delimiters?

The converter auto-detects common delimiters (comma, semicolon, tab, pipe) or you can manually select your delimiter in the options panel.

Can I convert Excel files to Go structs?

Yes! Export your Excel file as CSV first, then paste it into the converter. Excel's "Save As CSV" works perfectly.

How accurate is the type inference?

Every row is checked, not just the first few. Whole numbers become int, or int64/uint64 once they outgrow 32 bits, so a long ID like 8901240544102066246 keeps every digit. Decimals become float64, true/false becomes bool, and codes with leading zeros such as 00501 stay strings. A column with blank cells gets a pointer type (*int, *bool) so a missing value is not mistaken for zero. Dates are left as strings; change them to time.Time if you want Go to parse them.
