JSON Beautifier
Instantly beautify minified or escaped JSON. Paste an API response or log output and make it readable.
What is JSON Beautification?
JSON beautification (also called pretty-printing) transforms minified, compact JSON into a human-readable format with consistent indentation and line breaks. When APIs return minified JSON to save bandwidth, or when logs contain compact JSON objects, beautification is the fastest way to inspect and understand the data.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between JSON Formatter and JSON Beautifier?
The JSON Formatter focuses on developer tasks: formatting, validating, minifying, sorting keys, and deep inspection. The JSON Beautifier is optimized for a single task: making ugly, minified, or hard-to-read JSON instantly readable. It also handles escaped JSON strings and double-encoded JSON automatically.
What is an escaped JSON string?
An escaped JSON string is a JSON object encoded as a string value, often created when APIs serialize JSON twice. It looks like: "{\'key\':\'value\'}". The beautifier automatically detects and unescapes this.
Is my JSON data sent to a server?
No. Beautification happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device.
