JSON Formatter

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data format used to store and exchange structured data between systems. It's the de facto standard for web APIs, configuration files, and data storage.

Why Format JSON?

Minified or machine-generated JSON is often unreadable — everything on one line, no indentation. Formatting adds consistent indentation and line breaks, making nested structures easy to scan visually and spot errors.

Common Use Cases

• Debugging API responses
• Config file editing
• Code review and documentation
