CONVERT JSON FILE TO EXCEL IN MATLAB

Hi, I have a big JSON file which I want to convert to a excel file so that I can use it for classiication and feature selection.
Any suggestions on steps to import the JSON file and convert it to an excel file with column names? THnaks a lot!

But you have to attach one json file and tell how are expecting it in excel.

In R2016b matlab has introduced a documented way of parsing json with jsondecode and in previous versions there was the undocumented matlab.internal.webservices.fromJSON which does the same, no need for an external library.
However, as you said in your comment to the question, we need to know the mapping between json and excel. There's nothing inherently tabular about json so it's not clear how to go from one to the other.
