Why format JSON?

JSON is the standard for APIs and config files. Minified JSON is hard to read and debug. Formatting adds indentation and line breaks so you can spot errors and understand structure quickly.

Steps to format JSON online

• Paste your raw or minified JSON into the input area
• Click format to apply consistent indentation
• Use validate to catch syntax errors before they cause issues
