Automating ABAP Type Definitions
Manually creating ABAP structures for complex REST APIs or OData services is error-prone. This tool guarantees type safety and saves hours of coding time.
How it works
The converter recursively parses your nested JSON objects and maps them to correspondingTYPES: BEGIN OF... structures. It intelligently handles:
- Nested Objects: Automatically creates sub-structures (e.g.,
ty_root_items). - Arrays: Generates
STANDARD TABLE OFdefinitions. - Data Types: Maps JSON primitives to ABAP types (
String,Integer,Packed Number). - Naming Conventions: Sanitizes field names to be ABAP-compliant (e.g., replacing spaces with underscores).
Why use this tool?
When integrating with strictly typed languages like ABAP, a mismatch in field definitions can cause runtime errors (e.g., CX_SY_CONVERSION_ERROR). By generating the exact structure from the API payload, you ensure 100% compatibility with /ui2/cl_json deserialization.
Security Note
Client-Side Processing: Your JSON data is processed strictly within your browser using JavaScript. No payload is ever sent to our servers, making it safe to use with sensitive client data.
Supported ABAP Versions
The generated syntax follows the unified definition pattern introduced in ABAP 7.40. It is compatible with:
- SAP S/4HANA (All editions)
- SAP ECC 6.0 EHP7+
