Common questions

How do I format and validate JSON online?

Paste your JSON above and tap Format JSON. Valid input is pretty-printed with indentation; invalid input shows where the error is.

Is my JSON uploaded anywhere?

No - validation and formatting run entirely in your browser.

What usually makes JSON invalid?

The most common causes are trailing commas, single quotes instead of double quotes, and unquoted keys.
