  2. Choose format, minify, or compare mode.
  3. Copy the formatted output or view inline validation errors.

FAQ

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No — all parsing and formatting happens locally in your browser using native JSON.parse/stringify. Nothing is uploaded.

What happens if my JSON is invalid?

The tool shows the exact line and character where parsing failed so you can fix it quickly.
