How to Format and Validate JSON Code
- Paste raw JSON data into the input workspace.
- Select an action: Beautify (Format with clean 2 or 4-space indentations) or Minify (Compact into a single dense line).
- The built-in validator flags syntax errors, unclosed braces, or invalid trailing commas instantly with exact character line numbers.
RFC 8259 Standard Validation
- Validates strictly against RFC 8259 specifications for JavaScript Object Notation.
- Key rules: Double-quoted property keys, strict boolean literals, no trailing commas after the last array/object element.
Example
-
Unformatted:
{"id":1,"name":"ToolFlux"}
Formatted:{\n "id": 1,\n "name": "ToolFlux"\n}
Common Applications
- Debugging REST and GraphQL API payloads.
- Sanitizing microservice configuration and settings files.
- Minifying production JSON payloads to reduce web bandwidth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my confidential JSON data uploaded anywhere?
No. All formatting and validation is performed locally in your browser memory. Data is never transmitted to any external server.
Does this tool support single quotes in JSON?
Standard JSON specifications strictly mandate double quotes for strings and property keys. The validator alerts you if single quotes are detected.
