Use invented values that preserve the real data's structure and edge case. Keep relevant field names, types, separators, and nesting while replacing names, addresses, IDs, and secrets.

Do not assume a converter is appropriate for confidential production files without understanding where processing occurs and how data is handled. If a safe sample reproduces the issue, share that sample instead of the original.
Which feature of the data must the sample retain?
