What is JSON Formatter & Validator?

Paste raw JSON and instantly format, validate, or minify it — entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

How to use

  1. Paste or type your JSON in the input panel
  2. Choose your indentation style (2 spaces, 4 spaces, 8 spaces, or tabs)
  3. Optionally toggle "Sort keys" to alphabetize all object keys
  4. Click Format for pretty-printed output, or Minify for a single-line version
  5. Copy the result to your clipboard with one click

Features

  • Pretty-print with configurable indentation
  • Minify to a single compact line
  • Validate — instantly see whether your JSON is valid or broken, with error details
  • Sort keys alphabetically at all nesting levels
  • Live stats — see the number of keys, objects, arrays, and maximum nesting depth

Tips

  • Use 2-space indent for config files (package.json, tsconfig.json)
  • Use minify before pasting JSON into URLs or API requests
  • Sort keys to make diffs cleaner in version control
  • Works with any valid JSON — objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null
