Export Sheet Data is an add-on for Google Sheets that allows sheets to be exported as JSON or XML.
Convenient: Export Sheet Data is meant to be simple to use but very powerful. No more exporting multiple CSVs then compiling data.
Customizable: Options and formats can be tweaked to reflect personal taste. Default or stringified values for JSON. Attributes or child elements for XML. Format your data the way you want.
Export Sheet Data is available on the Google Workspace Marketplace.
NOTE: There is a known bug when using add-ons while multiple accounts are signed in. If you run into a situation where the ESD sidebar doesn't seem to load, visit the troubleshooting page for help.
You can see answers to frequently asked questions about ESD here.
The best way to figure out how to use Export Sheet Data is by opening the sidebar, reading the tooltips of various options and experimenting with the output using the Visualize option.
For detailed documentation on each option, take a look at the documentation.
