The JSON Formatter cleans up messy JSON so it is easy to read. Paste raw JSON to get it neatly indented with clear structure, or minify it to a compact form for production use.

How to format JSON

  1. Paste your JSON into the box.
  2. Choose to beautify or minify it.
  3. View the formatted result.
  4. Copy the clean JSON.

Why format JSON

Raw JSON from an API often comes as one long line, which is hard to read. Formatting adds spacing and indentation so you can see the structure, find a value, and spot mistakes much faster.

Beautify or minify

Use beautify while you read and debug, then minify to shrink the size for sending or storing. The tool also helps you notice broken structure, so you can fix issues before the data is used.
