How It Works

Paste your JSON into the input panel, then click Format to pretty-print it or Minify to compress it. Invalid JSON shows a detailed error message with the exact position of the syntax error.

The formatter uses the browser's native JSON.parse() for validation and JSON.stringify() with configurable indentation for formatting. This ensures 100% spec-compliant parsing β€” if something is invalid JSON, you'll know exactly where and why.
