How to use json formatter
Validate JSON and either format it for reading or minify it for compact transfer without sending the payload to a server.
Pretty-print an API payload using two-space indentation.
- Enter or paste the values you want to work with.
- Review the result and any validation message.
- Copy or download the result when the tool provides that action.
How it works
The browser parses the value with standard JSON rules, reports invalid syntax context, and serializes valid data with the chosen spacing.

- Inspect an API request or response
