Pretty-print or minify JSON and catch syntax errors locally.
You might also need
Format and validate JSON
Pretty-print or minify JSON and catch syntax errors immediately. Ideal for API payloads and config snippets — processing stays in your browser.
How to use it
- Paste JSON.
- Choose Format or Minify.
- Copy the result or fix errors shown in the validator.
When it helps
Cleaning API responses, preparing request bodies, and spotting missing commas before you ship.
FAQ
- Does it change my data?
- Format only changes whitespace. Minify removes optional whitespace. Invalid JSON is not rewritten.
- Are secrets uploaded?
- No. Parsing runs locally — still avoid pasting production secrets into any shared screen.
- Can it sort keys?
- Not automatically in this version — it preserves object key order from the parser.
- What indent should I use?
- Two spaces is a common default for readability.
- Does it support JSON5 / comments?
- No — standard JSON only (no comments, no trailing commas).
