What does this JSON formatter do?

This tool formats, validates, and beautifies JSON data. It adds proper indentation, fixes spacing, and highlights syntax errors to make JSON easier to read and debug.

How do I validate my JSON?

Simply paste your JSON into the editor. The tool automatically validates it and shows any syntax errors with line numbers and descriptions of what's wrong.

Can I minify JSON as well as format it?

Yes! The tool includes both format (beautify) and minify modes. Minifying removes all whitespace to create the smallest possible JSON string.

Is my JSON data secure?

Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your JSON data is never sent to any server, making it safe for sensitive data.

What's the tree view feature?

Tree view displays your JSON as an expandable/collapsible tree structure, making it easy to navigate complex nested objects and arrays.
