JSON Formatter is a free online tool that formats, validates, and repairs JSON data. Simply paste your JSON code into the input editor, click Format, and get beautifully formatted, validated JSON output. The tool can also repair common JSON errors like missing quotes, trailing commas, and JavaScript-style objects.
Example: Input: {"name":"John","age":30} → Output: Formatted JSON with proper indentation and line breaks.
Yes! Our JSON Formatter can format minified JSON (single-line JSON) into readable, indented format. Just paste your minified JSON and click the Format button. The tool will automatically add proper indentation and line breaks.
No, we do not store any of your JSON data. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Our JSON Formatter can repair common issues including:
- Fixing quotes and escape characters
- Removing comments (// and /* */)
- Unwrapping JSONP callbacks
- Converting JavaScript-style objects to valid JSON (quoting keys, replacing undefined/NaN/Infinity)
- Removing trailing commas and semicolons
To minify JSON, paste your formatted JSON into the input editor and click the Minify button. This will remove all unnecessary whitespace and compress your JSON into a single line, reducing file size while maintaining valid JSON structure.
Example: {"name": "John", "age": 30} → {"name":"John","age":30}
JSON escaping converts special characters in JSON strings to their escape sequences (e.g., quotes become \"). Unescaping does the reverse, converting escape sequences back to their original characters. Use the Escape button to escape JSON strings and Unescape to reverse the process.
Yes! You can upload JSON files by clicking the Upload button in the input pane toolbar, or simply drag and drop a .json file onto the input editor. The file content will be loaded automatically.
