Frequently Asked Questions

What does JSON formatting do?

JSON formatting (or beautifying) adds proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing to make JSON data human-readable. This is essential for debugging and understanding complex JSON structures.

How do I fix JSON syntax errors?

Click "Validate Only" to see detailed error messages. Common issues include missing commas, unquoted keys, trailing commas, and mismatched brackets. The error message will point you to the problematic line.

When should I minify JSON?

Minify JSON when you need to reduce file size for production APIs or storage. Minified JSON removes all unnecessary whitespace, making it compact but harder to read.

Can I sort JSON keys alphabetically?

Yes! Select "Yes" in the "Sort Keys" option and click Format. This will alphabetically sort all object keys, making it easier to compare JSON documents.
