JSON formatter online FAQ

What does a JSON formatter do?

A JSON formatter adds indentation and line breaks to compact or inconsistent JSON, making nested objects and arrays easier to scan, review and debug.

How do I fix invalid JSON?

Use the error message below the input editor to find the approximate line and column. Common problems include single quotes, trailing commas, unquoted keys and missing brackets.

What is JSON minification?

Minification removes unnecessary spaces and line breaks without changing the data, reducing the size of an API payload or file.

Does sorting keys change my JSON?

It changes object key order only. Values and array order stay intact.

Is my JSON stored or uploaded?

No. Parsing, formatting and validation happen locally in your browser.
