Pretty-print minified API JSON

Common issues

The parser reports a syntax error.

Check quotes, commas, brackets, delimiter choice, and escaped characters before copying the result.

The copied value breaks in another tool.

Compare encoding, line endings, field order, and required format rules in the target service.

How to interpret the result

Use the output as a technical checkpoint and compare it with the original snippet before adding it to code, docs, or an API request.

Privacy and review notes

This tool is designed to process inputs in the browser where the workflow allows it. Technical outputs are workflow references, so verify formats and never enter production secrets or private credentials. Use non-sensitive examples and review the output before sharing or submitting it.

FAQ

Does JSON formatting change keys or values?

Formatting changes whitespace and indentation only. Review numeric types, null values, and arrays against the source before using the result in production.

Why does otherwise readable JSON fail validation?

Common causes are trailing commas, single-quoted keys, comments, or a missing closing brace. Standard JSON requires double quotes and does not allow comments.
