JSON Formatter
Paste a JSON string, choose the indent width and get properly structured output. The formatter parses the real document first, so the result is guaranteed to be valid JSON.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when my JSON is invalid?
The tool parses it with a real JSON parser and reports the failure with the character offset, plus the surrounding text so you can find the missing comma or quote. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Does formatting change my data?
No. Number, string and boolean values are preserved exactly; only whitespace changes. Duplicate keys follow the browser parser rule where the last occurrence wins.
