About the JSON Formatter

The JSON Formatter makes messy JSON readable and checks that it is valid. Paste your JSON, then beautify it with neat indentation or minify it to a single compact line.

If your JSON has a syntax error, the tool points it out so you can fix it fast. Your data is processed entirely in the browser and never uploaded.

Beautify re-indents with 2 spaces, 4 spaces or a tab; Minify strips every bit of whitespace to one compact line for APIs or config files. For example {"a":1,"b":[2,3]} beautifies to a neatly indented block and minifies straight back to that single line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it validate my JSON?

Yes. If the JSON is invalid, you get the parser’s error message instead of formatted output, which helps you locate the problem.

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. Parsing and formatting happen locally in your browser, so sensitive data stays on your device.

Does it accept comments or trailing commas?

No. It uses strict JSON parsing, so JavaScript-style comments, single quotes and trailing commas are flagged as errors. Remove them and the JSON will format.

Does it reorder my keys?

No. Keys keep their original order — the tool only changes indentation and whitespace, never the data or its structure.
