  • Format, validate, or minify the input.
  • Copy valid output or download it as a JSON file.

Output: A validated and consistently indented JSON document

Common use cases

  • Checking configuration files
  • Reducing JSON size for transfer or storage

FAQ

Will the tool repair invalid JSON?

No. It reports the parsing error rather than silently changing malformed input and calling it valid.

How large can the input be?

Wave 1 limits input to one million characters to reduce the chance of a huge paste freezing the page.

Is JSON uploaded?

No. Parsing and output generation happen entirely in your browser.
