Format and validate JSON safely in your browser.

The guide and instructions on this page are available while the tool loads.
JSON Formatter helps developers validate JSON syntax and convert raw payloads into a readable structure. It is useful when working with APIs, configuration files, structured logs, and debugging workflows.
If parsing succeeds, the tool reformats the content using clear indentation. If parsing fails, the JSON likely contains syntax issues such as missing commas, invalid quotes, or mismatched brackets.
Because processing happens locally in the browser, you can inspect sensitive payloads without sending them to an external server.
Files and inputs stay in your browser during processing.
JSON requires double quotes for keys and strings, and does not allow trailing commas.
