Overview

Format and validate JSON so it is readable and safe to use.

Best for

  • Pretty-print API responses for debugging.
  • Check config files before deployment.
  • Prepare JSON snippets for documentation.

Step-by-step

  1. Paste your JSON input.
  2. Choose indentation or sorting options.
  3. Copy the formatted output.

Examples

Example 1
Input
{"name":"Acme","count":3,"tags":["a","b"]}
Output
{"name": "Acme", "count": 3, "tags": ["a", "b"]}
Same data, clearer formatting.
Example 2
Input
{"price":"12.50","priceNum":12.5}
Output
{"price":"12.50","priceNum":12.5}
Check types: quotes make strings.
Example 3
Input
{"env":"prod","retries":3,"flags":{"beta":false}}
Output
{"env": "prod", "retries": 3, "flags": {"beta": false}}
Nested objects become easier to scan.

Common mistakes

  • Trailing commas or comments break strict JSON.
  • Numbers in quotes become strings.
  • Large integers can lose precision in JavaScript.

Pro tips

  • Use consistent indentation (2 or 4 spaces).
  • Validate before committing to version control.
