About JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the default data format of web APIs, package manifests and most configuration tooling. It supports objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null.
Private by design
Developer data is often sensitive: API responses, tokens, customer records, internal configs. This JSON Formatter processes everything locally in your browser tab. There is no server round-trip, no logging and no storage of your input. Prefer a native app? Read about JSON Formatter in DevT Pro.
