Firm Beacon

Browser tool

JSON Formatter and Validator

Paste JSON text, format it with clean indentation, minify it to one line, or check for syntax errors. Everything runs in your browser. Your data stays on your device.

Paste up to 1 MiB of JSON text. Nothing is uploaded or saved.

Format uses two-space indentation. Minify removes unnecessary whitespace. Validate checks JSON syntax without changing the input.

What this JSON tool checks

It parses standard JSON in your browser and reports syntax errors from the browser's JSON parser. When a character position is available, the message includes its line and column.

This is a syntax check, not schema validation. It does not repair JSON, sort keys, convert XML or guarantee that another system will accept the result.

Is my JSON private?

The pasted text is processed in this page and is not sent to Firm Beacon or stored by the tool. Normal page requests and anonymous analytics still happen when the page loads. Analytics can record actions such as Format, Minify and Validate, but not the JSON content.
