{ } JSON Formatter & Validator

Format, minify, validate, and explore JSON — with error messages that actually tell you what's wrong.

🔒 Your JSON never leaves your browser — no uploads, no server storage, no "recent links" history.

Everything runs client-side. No account, no login, no tracking of anything you paste here.

Waiting for input…

Validation runs automatically as you type. Very large inputs skip live-checking for smoother typing — click Format, Minify, or Validate to check them on demand.

Common JSON errors this catches

Most “invalid JSON” errors come down to a handful of repeat offenders: trailing commas after the last item in an array or object (valid in JavaScript, invalid in JSON), single quotes instead of double quotes, missing quotes around keys, or an unescaped quote inside a string. If your JSON won't validate, check those four first before assuming the structure is wrong.
