How to use: Format and validate JSON online for free

Paste JSON, choose indentation and run formatting. If there is an error, review the reported syntax and try again. Copy or download the formatted output and check the values before integrating it into a project.

Before you start

JSON requires double quotes around keys and strings. Comments and trailing commas are not part of the format. Syntax validation does not check business rules or a specific schema.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool automatically fix any invalid JSON?

No. It reports syntax problems for you to review. Invalid input must not be treated as a validated document.

Can I paste confidential data?

Processing is local in your browser. Even so, avoid exposing secrets on shared devices and check the content before copying or sharing it.
