How It Works

Our JSON Formatter is designed to be simple and intuitive. Follow these steps to format and validate your JSON data.

1

Input Your JSON

Paste your JSON data directly into the input area, or upload a JSON file from your computer. Our tool accepts both minified and already formatted JSON.

{"name":"John","age":30,"city":"New York"}
2

Automatic Validation

As you type or paste JSON, our tool automatically validates the syntax and highlights any errors in real-time. Invalid JSON will be clearly marked with helpful error messages.

Beautiful Formatting

Valid JSON is automatically formatted with proper indentation, syntax highlighting, and readable structure. You can copy the formatted result with a single click.

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "New York"
}

Copy and Use

Once your JSON is formatted and validated, simply click the copy button to copy the formatted JSON to your clipboard. You can then paste it into your code editor, API client, or anywhere else you need it.
