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.
