JSON Formatter
Format, minify, and validate JSON data with instant results
Tips & Important Information
- 1JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that's easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.
- 2Use the indent slider (2-8 spaces) to customize formatting. 2 spaces is common for web, 4 spaces for general code.
- 3Minifying JSON removes all whitespace, reducing file size by 20-40% - useful for production APIs and data transmission.
- 4The validator detects syntax errors instantly and shows the exact error message from the JSON parser.
- 5All processing happens in your browser - your JSON data is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
