Paste JSON below to format it, validate it, or shrink it down — all in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I format JSON?

Paste your JSON into the input box and click Format. The tool validates the syntax and, if it's valid, displays a clean, properly indented version. If there's an error, it tells you exactly what's wrong instead of just failing silently.

What does the Minify button do?

Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace and line breaks, producing the smallest valid version of the same JSON — useful when you need to paste it somewhere compact, like a config value or API payload.

Is my JSON data sent anywhere?

No. Parsing and formatting happen entirely in your browser using standard JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, which makes this safe for JSON containing sensitive configuration or data.
