Frequently Asked Questions

How do I validate JSON syntax?
Paste your JSON into the editor. The tool will automatically validate it and highlight any syntax errors with line and position information.
What is the difference between JSON minify and pretty print?
Pretty print adds indentation and line breaks to make JSON human-readable. Minify removes all whitespace to create compact, single-line JSON—reducing file size by 60–80% for APIs and production.
Is this JSON formatter free to use?
Yes. This is a 100% free online JSON formatter and validator. No signup, no uploads—all processing happens in your browser for privacy and speed.
Can I format JSON with custom indentation?
Yes. Use the Format button and choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or Tab for indentation. The formatted output updates in real time.
