Every record uses the same keys; a null means the source did not state the value, and nothing is wrapped in prose or code fences.","eyebrowHow":"How it works","howTitle":"From document to JSON in three steps","howDesc":"The JSON Export tile inside Scholarly's AI File Creator turns your material into a single, machine-readable file.","step1Title":"Add your sources","step1Desc":"Upload PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, spreadsheets, or text files, pick files from your library or Google Drive, or paste a URL. Use up to 10 sources (20 on Laureate) and choose specific PDF page ranges.","step2Title":"Pick JSON Export and describe the records","step2Desc":"Choose the JSON Export tile. In custom instructions, name the keys you want on each record and what counts as one record — a clause, a product, a study, a glossary entry.","step3Title":"Download and hand it off","step3Desc":"The .json file is saved to your library and downloads instantly. Load it in a script, import it into a database, or pass it to the next step of a pipeline.","eyebrowUseCases":"Use cases","useCasesTitle":"What people extract as JSON","useCasesDesc":"Anything that another program, not a person, needs to read next.","useCase1Title":"Feed a data pipeline","useCase1Desc":"Turn recurring PDF reports, invoices, or filings into records with the same keys every time, so the downstream ingestion step never has to change.","useCase1Example":"Example: monthly vendor report → array of line items with vendor, period, amount, and category keys.","useCase2Title":"Extract clauses, requirements, or specs","useCase2Desc":"Pull contract obligations, regulatory requirements, or technical specifications into one record per item with an id, title, text, and the page it came from.","useCase2Example":"Example: services agreement → obligations array with clause_id, party, obligation, deadline_days.","useCase3Title":"Seed an app or database","useCase3Desc":"Convert a product catalogue, a course outline, or a glossary into the exact shape your schema expects and load it without hand-mapping fields.","useCase3Example":"Example: glossary PDF → terms array with term, definition, category, and related_terms.","useCase4Title":"Structured research data","useCase4Desc":"Extract study metadata from papers — sample size, method, outcome measures, key findings — into records you can filter, compare, and chart programmatically.","useCase4Example":"Example: three papers → studies array with title, year, n, design, primary_outcome.","eyebrowFeatures":"What you get","featuresTitle":"JSON that parses on the first try","featuresDesc":"The output follows the conventions parsers and pipelines expect, so you spend no time cleaning it up.","feature1Title":"Stable, self-describing schema","feature1Desc":"Key names are consistent across every record and describe the data they hold, so the file reads without a separate legend.","feature2Title":"Records in a top-level array","feature2Desc":"The file is an array of records at the top level — the shape most import tools and scripts expect by default.","feature3Title":"No prose, no code fences","feature3Desc":"The output is the JSON itself: nothing before it, nothing after it, no Markdown wrapper to strip before parsing.","feature4Title":"Grounded in your sources","feature4Desc":"Values come from the files you upload. When the source does not state a value, the field is left empty rather than guessed.","feature5Title":"Keys you choose","feature5Desc":"Name the keys and the record boundary in custom instructions and the generator uses them, so the output matches the schema you already have.","feature6Title":"Pick exactly which pages","feature6Desc":"For PDFs, select the page range the data should be built from, so only the relevant section contributes records.","eyebrowWhy":"Why JSON","whyTitle":"Why a JSON file beats copying from chat","updatedLine":"Updated August 2026","quickAnswer":"Upload up to 10 sources on Premium, or 20 on Laureate (1 on the Free plan) — PDFs, Word docs, slides, spreadsheets, text files, Google Drive files, or a URL — pick the JSON Export tile, and Scholarly generates a .json file with consistent keys and records in a top-level array, saved to your library and ready to download. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit and one upload (8 MB; PDFs are processed up to 32 pages). Premium ($30/mo or $144/yr) allows 15 AI Creation Credits per week and Laureate ($99/mo) includes 80 AI Creation Credits per week.","why1":"Asking a chatbot for JSON usually returns a code block with an explanation above it, a caveat below it, and key names that drift from one answer to the next. Every one of those needs to be stripped or normalised before a parser will accept it. The JSON Export tile produces the file, not a message about the file.","why2":"Because the generator reads your uploaded sources, the records are drawn from your document — the clauses in your agreement, the SKUs in your catalogue, the studies in your review. Where the document is silent, the field is left empty so the gap is visible in the data rather than filled with a plausible guess.","why3":"The result is a real .json file in your Scholarly library, stored next to the source it came from. Download it into a script or pipeline, and when the source changes, generate again with the same instructions to get the same shape.","limitsTitle":"Good to know before you generate","limitsIntro":"The JSON tile is deliberately narrow. These are the boundaries to plan around.","limit1":"The schema comes from your instructions and the source, not from a JSON Schema file you upload. Describe the keys you need; the generator keeps them consistent across records.","limit2":"Values are extracted as the source states them. Name the types or formats you need — ISO dates, numbers without currency symbols — in custom instructions.","limit3":"Each generation pulls from up to 10 sources on Premium, or 20 on Laureate (1 on the Free plan). The Free plan accepts one upload of up to 8 MB (PDFs are processed up to 32 pages); paid plans raise the upload limits.","limit4":"Each JSON file counts as one AI Creation Credit from the same weekly allowance as flashcards, podcasts, videos, and other Scholarly tools.","workTitle":"For work and teams","workPara1":"Developers and analysts use the JSON Export tile to get documents into pipelines: vendor reports into a warehouse, contract obligations into a tracker, product specs into a catalogue service, policy documents into a searchable index. Name the keys once and every document in the same family comes out in the same shape.","workPara2":"Teams plans add shared libraries, so the source documents, the generated JSON, and the SOPs that describe the process stay together where the whole team can reach them.","workLinkFileCreator":"AI File Creator","workLinkSop":"SOP Generator","workLinkTeams":"Scholarly for Teams","eyebrowFaq":"FAQ","faqTitle":"Frequently asked questions","faq0Question":"Can I extract structured data from a PDF as JSON?","faq0Answer":"Yes. Upload the PDF, optionally pick the page range, choose the JSON Export tile, and describe the keys each record should have. You get a .json file with records in a top-level array and consistent key names.","faq1Question":"How do I control the keys and structure?","faq1Answer":"Describe them in custom instructions before generating — for example \"one record per clause with keys clause_id, title, obligation, deadline_days\". The generator keeps key names consistent across every record.","faq2Question":"Is the output wrapped in Markdown or explanation text?","faq2Answer":"No. The JSON Export tile produces the JSON itself with no prose or code fences around it, so it can be parsed directly.","faq3Question":"When should I use CSV instead of JSON?","faq3Answer":"Use the CSV Table tile when you need one flat table for Excel, Google Sheets, or a database import. Use JSON when records have nested or list-valued fields, or when a script or API will read the file.","faq4Question":"Is the AI JSON generator free?","faq4Answer":"Scholarly is free to start: the Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit and one upload of up to 8 MB (PDFs are processed up to 32 pages).
