About JSON Formatter & Validator

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

Features:

  • Format JSON with customizable indentation
  • Minify JSON to reduce file size
  • Validate JSON syntax
  • Optionally validate JSON against a provided JSON Schema
  • Sort object keys alphabetically
  • Copy formatted JSON to clipboard
  • Access your recent formatting history

Common Uses:

  • Making API responses readable
  • Debugging configuration files
  • Preparing JSON for documentation
  • Validating JSON before using it in an application
  • Ensuring JSON data conforms to a specific structure using JSON Schema

All formatting and validation is performed in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server.
