About the JSON Formatter & Validator

Paste JSON to validate it and format it with 2 spaces, 4 spaces or tabs, or minify it to one line. Invalid JSON shows the parser message with the line and column so you can fix it quickly.

How to use it

  1. Paste your JSON into the input box.
  2. Choose format or minify, indentation and key sorting.
  3. Copy or download the output.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my JSON show an error?
Common causes are trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys and comments, none of which JSON allows.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Parsing runs in your browser.
