JSON Formatter & Validator

About JSON Formatting

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that's easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. This tool helps you format, validate, and minify JSON data.

Features

• Format - Pretty-print JSON with customizable indentation (2 or 4 spaces)
• Validate - Check if your JSON is syntactically correct
• Minify - Remove whitespace to reduce file size
• Statistics - View object count, array count, depth, and size

Common Use Cases

• Debugging API responses
• Preparing JSON for code review
• Optimizing JSON for production (minification)
• Validating configuration files
• Learning JSON structure

Tips

• Use 2-space indentation for compact, readable formatting
• Minify JSON for production to reduce bandwidth
• Check the statistics to understand your data structure
• Keep JSON depth reasonable (ideally under 10 levels)
