How do I format my JSON data?

Simply paste your JSON data into the editor above. The formatter will automatically detect your input and format it with proper indentation. You can also use the tree view to explore nested structures and the validation feature will automatically check for any syntax errors or structural issues in your JSON.

What is JSON Schema validation and how does it work?

JSON Schema validation is a powerful feature that allows you to define and validate the structure of your JSON data. It helps ensure that your JSON follows specific rules, data types, and formats. Our validator checks your JSON against predefined schemas to verify properties, required fields, data types, and nested object structures.

How can I use the Tree View feature?

The Tree View feature provides an interactive way to explore your JSON data. Click on the Tree View mode to transform your JSON into a collapsible tree structure. You can expand/collapse nested objects and arrays, making it easier to navigate through complex JSON structures. This is particularly useful when working with large JSON files.

What common JSON syntax errors does the validator detect?

Our validator catches several common JSON syntax errors including: missing or extra commas between properties, unclosed brackets or braces, invalid property names (missing quotes), incorrect value types, malformed arrays, and invalid escape sequences in strings. The tool highlights these errors in real-time as you type or paste your JSON data.

Can I minify my JSON data?

Yes! While our tool primarily focuses on formatting and beautifying JSON with proper indentation, you can also minify your JSON data to remove all unnecessary whitespace. This is useful when you need to reduce the file size for transmission or storage. Simply use the compact mode in the editor to remove all extra spaces and line breaks while maintaining valid JSON syntax.
