What this JSON formatter helps with

Validate JSON before using it

Catch syntax issues quickly before a payload goes into your API client, app config, or test data.

Toggle between readable and compact output

Use formatted output for inspection and minified output for compact payloads or inline values.

Keep sensitive payloads local

This formatter works client-side, which makes it convenient for internal configuration snippets or debug responses.

Common examples

Pretty JSON for inspection

{"name":"DartShell","offline":true} -> {
  "name": "DartShell",
  "offline": true
}

Minified JSON for transport

{
  "name": "DartShell"
} -> {"name":"DartShell"}
