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
- Paste or type your JSON in the input panel
- Choose your indentation style (2 spaces, 4 spaces, 8 spaces, or tabs)
- Optionally toggle "Sort keys" to alphabetize all object keys
- Click Format for pretty-printed output, or Minify for a single-line version
- 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
Privacy
Your data never leaves your browser. All formatting and validation runs locally using built-in JavaScript APIs.
