JSON Formatter

How to use JSON Formatter

1. Paste valid source data into JSON Formatter.
2. Choose formatting options such as Indent.
3. Run JSON Formatter to create the normalized representation.
4. Compare the result with the source, then copy it for its intended use.

Common uses

• Make minified API responses readable
• Normalize JSON before code review
• Inspect nested configuration files

Example input

{"hello":"世界"}

Example result

{
  "name": "YourConvertor",
  "private": true
}

Common mistakes

• Trailing commas
• Unquoted property names
• Missing closing braces

Tips for reliable results

• Validate the source first when formatting reports an error; indentation cannot repair malformed data.
• Compare parsed values rather than whitespace when reviewing the formatted result.
• Preserve the original source until the normalized output has been accepted by the target system.
