DBF to JSONdBase (DBF)

Legacy database files.

dBase, FoxPro, and Clipper database files. TabularJS extracts column metadata (types, lengths) alongside the data rows.

Feature support

Example

const result = await tabularjs('customers.dbf');
console.log(result.worksheets[0].columns);
// [{ name: 'ID', type: 'N', length: 10 }, ...]

Why TabularJS for dBase (DBF)?

• No external parser dependencies — faster installs, smaller bundles.
• Works identically in Node.js and modern browsers.
• Output is shape-compatible with Jspreadsheet — render parsed data in a live workbook with one call.
