How to use this tool

Inspect compact or hard-to-read JSON, validate its syntax, and produce either an indented or minified result.

Steps

  1. Paste a JSON object, array, string, number, boolean, or null into the input.
  2. Choose Format, Minify, or Validate, then use the error message to locate malformed input.
  3. Review the detected type and item counts before copying the result.

Work with JSON locally

Paste JSON to format, minify, or validate it. The tool is useful for API responses, config files, and copied data snippets.

Local processing

The tool runs in the browser, so ordinary text stays on your device while you work.

Fast copy workflow

Generate or transform the result, then copy it directly for use in code, docs, forms, or test data.
