What is JSON formatting?
JSON formatting turns raw JSON into a readable structure with consistent indentation, line breaks, and spacing. It is useful for debugging API responses, reviewing configuration files, and comparing JSON changes.
How JSON pretty printing works
Most formatters parse the input JSON text into an in-memory object and then serialize it back to a string using a stable indentation rule. If parsing fails, the formatter reports the syntax error location.
How to use this tool
- Paste your JSON into the input area.
- Click Format to pretty-print it.
- Copy the output when it looks correct.
FAQ
