How to use the JSON Formatter

The JSON Formatter tool allows you to format, validate, and beautify your JSON data. Follow these steps to use the tool:

Step 1: Enter your JSON data

Copy and paste your JSON data into the input text area. You can enter any valid JSON object or array.

Step 2: Select your options

Choose from the following formatting options:

  • Indent with spaces - Use spaces for indentation (uncheck to use tabs)
  • Indent Size - Set the number of spaces for each indentation level
  • Sort object keys - Alphabetically sort all object keys in the JSON

Select the desired JSON processing mode:

  • Format JSON - Pretty-print the JSON with proper indentation and spacing
  • Minify JSON - Remove all unnecessary whitespace to compress the JSON
  • Validate only - Just check if the JSON is valid without changing it
  • Escape Unicode - Convert Unicode characters to \uXXXX format
Step 3: Process your JSON

Click the "Process JSON" button to apply your selected options. The formatted result will appear in the output area below.

Step 4: Copy the result or reset

Use the "Copy" button to copy the formatted JSON to your clipboard. If you want to start over, click the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and restore default settings.

Tip: The statistics shown below the output provide information about your JSON data, including character count, number of elements, and maximum nesting depth.
