JSON Formatter

JSON Formatter Example

Unformatted JSON:

{"name":"John","age":30,"city":"New York","skills":["JavaScript","React"]}

Formatted JSON:

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "New York",
  "skills": [
    "JavaScript",
    "React"
  ]
}

Is JSON Formatter Safe?

Yes, your data is processed entirely client-side. We never send your pasted JSON to a server. It is not stored in localStorage, nor is it included in shareable URLs or analytics. However, as a best practice, you should always avoid pasting real production secrets or API keys into any online tool.

How to format JSON in your Editor

• VS Code: Use the shortcut Shift + Alt + F (Windows) or Shift + Option + F (Mac).
• Notepad++: You need to install the "JSTool" or "JSON Viewer" plugin from the Plugin Admin to format JSON.
• Sublime Text: Install the "Pretty JSON" package via Package Control, then press Ctrl + Alt + J.
• IntelliJ IDEA: Press Ctrl + Alt + L (Windows) or Cmd + Option + L (Mac) to reformat code.

Note: This web-based JSON Formatter acts as a great alternative if you cannot install plugins or extensions on a restricted work computer.
