}FAQ
What does the JSON formatter do?
It beautifies messy JSON with proper indentation, validates it, and can minify it back to a compact single line for storage or transfer.
Does it check whether my JSON is valid?
Yes. Invalid JSON shows a detailed error message with the reason, instead of silently producing wrong output.
Is my JSON uploaded to a server?
No. Formatting, validation and minifying all run in your browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
What is the difference between Format and Minify?
Format adds indentation and line breaks so the structure is readable. Minify removes all whitespace to make the JSON as small as possible.
Can I format JSON from an API response?
Yes. Copy the raw response body from your browser's network tab or an API client and paste it in.
