JSON Formatter & Validator

Pretty-print, validate and minify JSON entirely in your browser.

Try the tool

Your inputs are processed locally by this tool and are not intentionally uploaded. The website's existing Google Analytics tag may still collect ordinary visit/interaction metadata; do not enter secrets in a tool on a shared device.

How this tool works

Parsing is performed using the browser’s standards-based JSON parser. It does not send your pasted data to a server. JSON permits strings, numbers, booleans, null, arrays and objects, but not JavaScript comments or trailing commas.

Practical tip

For large JSON documents, formatting expands file size significantly. Export the minified form when file size matters.

This free tool is informational, with no warranty or professional advice. Check important outputs independently.
