JSON Formatter and Validator

Paste a JSON payload to pretty-print it, check that it parses, or minify it for a request body. Parsing happens locally, so API responses and config files stay on your machine.

How to use it

  1. Paste JSON into the editor, or load a sample payload.
  2. Choose Format to indent it, or Minify to collapse whitespace.
  3. Read the validation message, then copy the result.

Useful for

  • Pretty-print API responses
  • Find a missing comma or quote
  • Minify JSON before sending it
