About This Tool

A JSON formatter is an essential tool for developers that takes unformatted or minified JSON and converts it into a human-readable format with proper indentation, line breaks, and structure. This makes it easier to read, debug, and understand JSON data. Whether you're working with API responses, configuration files, or data structures, a well-formatted JSON is crucial for development and debugging.

Use Cases

  • Format API responses for easier debugging and inspection
  • Beautify minified JSON from production environments
  • Prepare JSON for documentation or code reviews
  • Debug JSON syntax errors by identifying structure issues
  • Format configuration files for better readability
  • Convert single-line JSON to multi-line format

Examples

Formatting minified JSON

Input:

{"name":"John","age":30,"city":"New York"}

Output:

{ "name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York" }

Formatting nested JSON structures

Input:

{"user":{"name":"Jane","details":{"email":"jane@example.com","role":"admin"}}}

Output:
