The essential tool for developers. Validate syntax, beautify code, and minify data instantly.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the language of the web APIs. However, API responses often come as a single, minified line of text to save bandwidth. This makes it impossible for humans to read or debug. Our JSON Formatter solves this by adding proper indentation and spacing.
This tool is essential for Web Developers working with REST APIs, Data Analysts parsing JSON datasets, and Students learning data structures.
| Action | Input | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Format | {"id":1,"name":"test"} |
{
"id": 1,
"name": "test"
} |
| Minify | {
"a": 1
} |
{"a":1} |
Debug sensitive data without fear.
Many online formatters send your data to their backend to process it. We don't. Our JSON Formatter runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript's native JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() methods. Your API keys and user data stay on your machine.
Zero data transmission. Safe for private APIs.
JSON is very strict. Common errors include using single quotes (') instead of double quotes ("), trailing commas after the last item in a list, or missing curly braces.
Yes, use the "Load File" button. Since processing is local, you can load large JSON files (up to several MBs) without waiting for uploads.
