About the JSON Beautifier

Turn compact JSON into neat, indented JSON.

How to use the JSON Beautifier

  1. Paste your JSON or click Load Sample JSON.
  2. Choose the Spacing: 2 spaces, 4 spaces or tabs.
  3. Press Beautify JSON Data, then Copy JSON or Download .json.

When to use the JSON Beautifier

  • Turning a minified API response into readable JSON.
  • Sharing JSON snippets in bug reports and chats.
  • Comparing two JSON documents by first giving them the same layout.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Beautifying very large files in a small browser tab, which can be slow.
  • Sending beautified JSON in production where minified is smaller.

Tips

  • Common JSON errors are trailing commas, single quotes and unquoted keys.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my JSON fail?
JSON needs double quotes around keys and strings, and no trailing commas.
Can I choose the indentation?
