Format, validate, and beautify your JSON data.
Working with APIs or configuration files? Our **JSON Formatter** is the ultimate tool for developers to validate and beautify JSON data. Convert compacted, unreadable JSON strings into a structured, indented format that is easy to read and debug.
Automatically checks your JSON for syntax errors. If there's a missing comma or bracket, we'll tell you exactly where.
Beautify your JSON with standard 4-space indentation, making nested objects and arrays easy to navigate.
Need to save space? Toggle to "Minify" mode to remove all whitespace and generate a compact JSON string for production.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. It is widely used in REST APIs, configuration files (like `package.json`), and database storage (NoSQL).
However, raw JSON from an API usually comes in a single line to save bandwidth. This makes debugging a nightmare.
Example of Raw JSON:
`{"name":"John","age":30,"cars":["Ford","BMW","Fiat"]}`
Formatted JSON:
{
"name": "John",
"age": 30,
"cars": [
"Ford",
"BMW",
"Fiat"
]
}
