JSON Formatter
Validate and format JSON with readable indentation.
JSON formatter + validator
Validate, beautify, minify, and sort JSON keys with error location hints.
About this tool
The JSON Formatter takes raw, minified, or messy JSON and returns a properly indented, readable structure — and because it must parse the input to format it, it doubles as a validator that pinpoints syntax errors like trailing commas, single quotes, and unquoted keys.
Formatting runs in your browser, which matters more for JSON than almost any other format: API responses and config files routinely contain tokens, keys, and customer data that should never be pasted into a server-side tool.
What people use it for
- Prettify a minified API response so you can actually read the structure while debugging.
- Validate JSON config files (package.json, tsconfig, CI manifests) before committing, catching the trailing comma before the pipeline does.
- Inspect webhook payloads from Stripe, GitHub, or Slack to find the field you need.
- Clean up JSON before pasting it into documentation, bug reports, or Postman collections.
Tips for better results
- JSON requires double quotes around keys and strings — single quotes are the most common paste-from-JavaScript error.
- Trailing commas are valid in modern JavaScript but never in JSON; they are the second most common failure.
- For huge payloads, format once and collapse to the branch you need rather than scrolling — structure first, values second.

Automated writing, SEO, and validation tools cannot guarantee rankings, approval, originality, or compliance. Publisher policies and search guidance should be checked directly for sensitive decisions.
FAQ
Why is my JSON invalid even though it works in JavaScript?
JavaScript object literals allow single quotes, unquoted keys, trailing commas, and comments — JSON allows none of these. The formatter's error position points at the first construct that JSON's stricter grammar rejects.
Is it safe to paste API responses with tokens into this formatter?
Yes — parsing and formatting run entirely in your browser with no network request, so the payload never leaves your machine. That is exactly why a client-side formatter is the right choice for production data.
