JSON Formatter & Validator

Validate, format and minify JSON locally with clear parse-error messages.

Method

How this tool works

The input is parsed using the browser JSON parser and re-serialized with either two-space indentation or no extra whitespace.

Worked example

{"active":true,"count":3} becomes a consistently indented, multi-line document.

Use responsibly

Assumptions & limitations

JSON does not allow comments, trailing commas, NaN or undefined. Very large files may slow the browser.
