What Is JSON Formatting?
Formatting adds readable spacing and line breaks to structured JSON. It can make nested data easier to inspect without changing its intended structure.
How to Prettify JSON
Paste JSON into the input. Review the formatted output, adjust the indent size or key sorting, and correct any validation message.
JSON Formatting Example
- {"name":"Ada"} → A formatted object with the name key and Ada value.
When Formatting Helps
- Inspect API responses while debugging.
- Review configuration data before editing.
- Compare structured examples with consistent indentation.
