What is JSON formatting?

JSON formatting is the process of adding proper indentation, spacing, and structure to JSON data to make it more readable and organized.

Why should I minify JSON?

Minifying JSON removes unnecessary whitespace and comments to reduce file size, which improves loading times and reduces bandwidth usage.

How do I validate JSON?

JSON validation checks if your JSON data follows the correct syntax rules. Our tool automatically detects and highlights syntax errors.
