System FAQ

How do I format JSON online for free?

Paste your JSON text and click 'Format'. The tool adds proper indentation and line breaks to make it human-readable. It also validates the JSON and highlights any syntax errors.

How do I find errors in JSON?

Paste your JSON and click Validate. The tool highlights the exact line and character position of any syntax errors — missing commas, unmatched brackets, unclosed strings, etc.

What is the difference between JSON formatting and minification?

Formatting (prettify) adds whitespace and indentation to make JSON human-readable. Minification removes all unnecessary whitespace to make files smaller for production APIs. Use formatted JSON for development, minified for production.

Can I view JSON as a tree structure?

Yes. Switch to Tree View mode to explore your JSON object hierarchy interactively. You can expand and collapse nested objects and arrays, making it easy to navigate complex data structures.

Is my JSON data sent to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your JSON data never leaves your device — safe for API responses containing sensitive data.
