JSON Formatter

Paste raw JSON and format it with 2 or 4-space indentation, or minify it to a single line. Errors are reported with the exact position so you can fix them fast.

About this JSON Formatter

Format API responses, config files and payloads for readability, or minify them to save bytes. Parsing uses the browser's native JSON.parse, so what validates here is exactly what JavaScript will accept in production. Your data never leaves the page — safe for tokens and private payloads.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my JSON fail with single quotes?
The JSON standard requires double quotes around keys and strings. Single quotes are valid JavaScript but not valid JSON.
Are trailing commas allowed?
No — strict JSON forbids trailing commas; the error message will point at the position.
Is my JSON sent to a server?
Never. Parsing and formatting run entirely in your browser.
