Frequently Asked Questions
What is JSON formatting?
JSON formatting (or "prettifying") adds consistent indentation and newlines to JSON data, making it easier to read and debug. Minified JSON has all whitespace removed for smaller file sizes.
Is my JSON data sent to a server?
No. This tool works entirely in your browser. Your JSON data never leaves your device.
Can I validate JSON with this tool?
Yes. The formatter validates your JSON as you type and shows descriptive error messages if the syntax is invalid.
