JSON Formatter & Validator

Beautify, minify, and validate JSON. Detects syntax errors and shows them with line numbers. All processing is done in your browser.

What Is a JSON Formatter?

A JSON formatter (also called a JSON beautifier) takes compact or unreadable JSON text and adds proper indentation and line breaks, making it easy to read and debug. A JSON validator checks whether the input conforms to the JSON specification (RFC 8259) and reports any syntax errors.

🔧 Common Use Cases

  • API Debugging — Format raw API response bodies for quick inspection.
  • Config Files — Beautify minified package.json, tsconfig.json, or settings files.
  • Data Exchange — Minify JSON before including it in source code to reduce size.
