JSON Formatter
Beautify, validate and minify JSON online. Pretty-print with indentation or compact it. Fast, private, in-browser.
How to format JSON
Paste your JSON and click Format to pretty-print it (choose your indent and optionally sort keys), or Minify to compact it. Invalid JSON shows the exact line and column of the error, and a collapsible tree view lets you explore the structure. Everything runs in your browser — your data is never uploaded.
