How to Use JSON Formatter

Paste or type your raw JSON data into the left input panel (top panel on mobile).
Click "Format" to pretty-print the JSON with proper indentation.
Click "Minify" to remove all unnecessary whitespace.
Validation happens automatically. Any syntax errors will be displayed clearly.
Use the "Copy" button to copy the processed JSON to your clipboard.
Click "Clear" to quickly reset the editor.

How it Works

The JSON Formatter uses the browser's native JSON parsing engine to safely format, minify, and validate your data entirely client-side. Your data is never sent to a server. It automatically detects syntax errors like missing commas or unmatched brackets.

Examples

Input: {"name":"Surn","active":true}

Result: { "name": "Surn", "active": true }

Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All JSON processing happens locally in your web browser. We do not store or transmit any of the data you enter.

What is the difference between formatting and minifying?

Formatting (or pretty-printing) adds spaces, tabs, and line breaks to make the JSON easily readable by humans. Minifying removes all unnecessary whitespace to make the file size as small as possible for machine transmission.
