Format, validate, minify and view JSON with syntax highlighting, tree view, path finder and error detection — all in your browser.
Formatting or validating JSON with Rai Paruhang takes seconds — no account, no upload, and nothing installed. Here is everything you need to know, including tree view, path finder, and device-specific tips.
Paste or upload your JSON
Paste raw JSON directly into the input box, or drag and drop a .json file. It works even if the JSON is minified, malformed, or missing quotes.
Format, validate, or minify
Click Format to beautify with proper indentation, Validate to check for syntax errors, or Minify to compress it to a single line. Errors are highlighted with the exact line and character where they occur.
Explore, copy, or download
Switch to tree view to expand and collapse nested objects and arrays, or use Path Finder to click any value and get its exact JSON path. Copy the result or download it as a file.
Paste any JSON — minified, compact, or messy — and click Format. The output is re-indented with consistent spacing and syntax highlighting, making nested objects and arrays easy to read at a glance.
Click Validate to check your JSON for syntax issues like trailing commas, missing quotes, or unclosed brackets. If something is wrong, the exact line and character position is shown so you can fix it immediately instead of hunting through the whole file.
Switch to Tree View to render your JSON as a collapsible structure. Click any object or array to expand or collapse it — useful for navigating large API responses or deeply nested config files without scrolling through raw text.
Click Minify to strip all whitespace and line breaks, compressing your JSON to a single line. This is useful for reducing payload size before sending data over an API or storing it in a database field.
Click any key or value in the formatted output, and Path Finder shows the exact path to it — for example data.users[2].email. Copy the path directly for use in code, jq queries, or debugging.
This tool works in any modern browser — no extension or plugin required, on any device. Use Safari or Chrome on Mac, Chrome or Edge on Windows, or Safari and Chrome on mobile. There is nothing to install and no permissions to grant.
Unlike many JSON tools, this one never sends your data to a server. All formatting, validation, and tree rendering happens locally in your browser using JavaScript — making it safe for private API responses, internal config files, or proprietary data structures.
