  2. Choose Beautify or Minify.
  3. Review the output and any validation message.

  • Makes it easier to copy JSON into tickets, docs, and code reviews.

FAQ

Does the tool validate JSON?

Yes. Invalid JSON shows an error message instead of formatted output.

What does minify do?

Minify removes unnecessary spacing and line breaks to make JSON more compact.

Can this format JavaScript objects?

Only valid JSON is supported, so property names and strings must use valid JSON syntax.
