How do I remove brackets from JSON?

Removing brackets from JSON fundamentally changes its structure and validity. Square brackets [] denote arrays, while curly braces {} denote objects—both are essential to JSON syntax. If you need to extract data without brackets for display, parse the JSON in your programming language first. For example, if you have ["item1", "item2"], you can parse it and join the values as a comma-separated string. If you are receiving bracket-escaped JSON like \[\], use our JSON Formatter at jsonconsole.com/json-formatter to properly unescape and format the data. For converting JSON arrays to other formats like CSV or plain text, use our JSON Converter tool. Remember that valid JSON requires brackets and braces for structure. Removing them makes the data no longer valid JSON, though it may be suitable for specific display or export purposes in your application.
