Format with 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs. Minify JSON into a single line. Automatic validation — errors are highlighted with line numbers. Everything runs client-side, so your data stays private.

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format used for storing and exchanging data. It's the most common format for APIs, configuration files, and data storage. JSON uses key-value pairs and supports strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, objects, and null values.
