How to Format JSON Online
Problem: You have a compact or minified JSON payload and need readable, validated output.
Steps
- Open the JSON Formatter.
- Paste your JSON into the input area.
- Click Format. The tool will prettify and validate the JSON.
Example input
{"name":"Alice","age":30,"roles":["dev","admin"]}
Example output
{
"name": "Alice",
"age": 30,
"roles": [
"dev",
"admin"
]
}
Tips
- If the JSON is invalid, the formatter will indicate the error location. Fix the error and re-run.
- Use the JSON Viewer for large nested payloads.
- Compare two JSON outputs with Text Compare.
