Free JSON Formatter, Validator & Converter Tools Online

How to Format and Validate JSON Online

If you work with APIs or configuration files, you’ve probably come across messy or minified JSON that’s hard to read. Formatting JSON helps you instantly understand the structure, spot errors, and debug issues faster.

With Tool Wizard Hub’s free JSON Formatter, you can paste your JSON, beautify it with one click, validate the syntax, and copy or download the result — all directly in your browser.

What Is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format widely used for exchanging data between servers and web applications. It is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse.

JSON is commonly used in REST APIs, microservices, frontend frameworks, mobile apps, and cloud-based systems.

JSON Example: Before and After Formatting

Minified JSON

{"name":"Alex","age":28,"skills":["PHP","JavaScript","AWS"]}

Formatted JSON

{
  "name": "Alex",
  "age": 28,
  "skills": [
    "PHP",
    "JavaScript",
    "AWS"
  ]
}
  

Common JSON Validation Errors

• Missing commas between properties
• Trailing commas
• Unquoted property names
• Invalid data types
• Mismatched brackets or braces

Our JSON Validator instantly detects these issues and helps you fix invalid JSON before it causes application errors.
