Convert bank statement to JSON means taking a statement that arrives as PDF (or a scan) and producing structured JavaScript Object Notation: typically an array of transaction objects with consistent keys your code can read directly.
JSON is the default format for modern APIs and many fintech products. It maps cleanly into databases, webhooks, and application state without the spreadsheet layer required by CSV or Excel.
