How to use

Paste any JSON into the input pane. The tool automatically validates it and shows it as a collapsible Tree, a scannable Grid, a Pretty print, or a compact Minified string.

Use the Beautify and Minify buttons to normalize whitespace with 2 or 4-space indent. If your JSON is invalid, we show the exact error including line and column.

Upload a .json file, download the result, or copy it to your clipboard — nothing is uploaded to a server.

FAQ

Is my JSON data uploaded anywhere?▾

No. The entire tool runs in your browser. Files you upload are read locally and never transmitted.

What is the maximum file size?▾

For best UX we recommend under 8MB. Larger inputs can work but may slow the tree view.

Does it support JSON5 or comments?▾

It parses strict JSON. Trailing commas or comments will be flagged as invalid.

Can I share a URL to a formatted JSON?▾

For privacy we do not persist your JSON. Copy the output and share it directly.
