How to use this tool

Format JSON before sharing it in a pull request, API ticket, or configuration review. The formatter makes nesting visible and identifies invalid syntax before it reaches an application.

Suggested workflow

  1. Paste a JSON object or array into the input panel.
  2. Choose format, validate, or minify based on the job.
  3. Review the result and copy the normalized JSON.

Good to know

Use minified JSON only for transport or fixtures; keep formatted JSON in documentation and code review.
