Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSON?▼

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format used to exchange data between a server and a client. It is human-readable and easy to parse.

How do I validate JSON?▼

Paste your JSON into the editor — the tool will instantly validate it and highlight any syntax errors with line numbers and descriptions.

What is the difference between formatting and minifying?▼

Formatting (beautifying) adds indentation and newlines to make JSON readable. Minifying removes all whitespace to make the JSON as compact as possible for transmission.
