Guide & examples

About JSON formatter

Make JSON easier to read, check its syntax, or remove unnecessary whitespace before using it in a request or configuration file.

When to use it

Read an API response, validate a configuration file, or minify a JSON request body.

JSON formatter example
Input:  {"ready":true,"count":2}
Output:
{
  "ready": true,
  "count": 2
}

How to use it

  1. Paste your JSON document.
  2. Choose Format JSON or Minify.
  3. Copy the result or correct the reported syntax error.

Limits & privacy

Processing stays in your browser. Standard JSON syntax is required; comments and trailing commas are not supported.

Use this tool from the API reference or connect through the SDK, CLI, SSH, or MCP. Hosted calls share your plan allowances.
