JSON Beautifier

Enter JSON to validate syntax and structure.

Online JSON Formatter & Validator

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It's easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Key Features

  • Beautify: Proper indentation (2 or 4 spaces) makes complex JSON structures readable.
  • Minify: Remove all spaces and line breaks to compress the JSON for transmission.
  • Validate: Instantly check if your JSON is valid and see exactly where the syntax error is.

Common JSON Errors

Missing Double Quotes

Unlike JavaScript objects, JSON keys must be double-quoted.

Trailing Commas

Trailing commas at the end of properties and arrays are not allowed in standard JSON.
