JSON is the most widely used data exchange format in web development: REST API responses, exported ACF data, WordPress configurations and Figma design tokens are all in JSON. A reliable formatter that pinpoints syntax errors precisely is indispensable in the daily workflow.
This formatter:
- Formats raw JSON with configurable indentation (2, 4 spaces, tab)
- Validates JSON per RFC 8259 with precise line and character error indication
- Minifies JSON by removing unnecessary whitespace to reduce request payload size
- Displays JSON as an interactive navigable tree with expand/collapse for nodes
- Search function within the tree for specific keys or values
- Alphabetical key sorting
- Conversion between JSON and YAML
- Operates fully client-side: safe for JSON containing tokens, passwords or sensitive data
