Frequently asked questions

It parses your JSON and reformats it with consistent 2-space indentation and line breaks, making it easier to read. The Minify mode does the opposite — removes all whitespace to produce the most compact possible output.

Paste any JSON and instantly format it with proper indentation, minify it to a single line, or validate it and see the exact error location. Includes syntax highlighting — keys, strings, numbers, booleans, and null values are colour-coded for readability.
