How does the JSON formatter tool work?

The JSON formatter tool formats your JSON code to make it more readable. Simply enter your code, press the 'Format' button. The formatted code will appear in the result text field. Enter your messy, minified, or obfuscated JSON to have it cleaned up and made pretty. The editor above also contains helpful line numbers and syntax highlighting.

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Why would I format my JSON code?

Formatting your JSON code makes it easier to read. Formatted code helps to identify syntax errors and bugs in the code. Properly formatted code is easier to maintain and update. When writing JSON, your indentation, spacing, and other formatting can become disorganized. This tool helps make the formatting of a file consistent, especially when multiple developers work on a single project with different formatting techniques. It also makes minified or obfuscated json files readable and easier to edit.

Is my code sent to a server for formatting?

No, your code is formatted locally in your browser using the Prettier library. It is not sent to any server.
