Frequently Asked Questions
What is JSON?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON is the most common format for API data exchange.
How do I validate JSON?
Paste your JSON into this tool and it will automatically validate the syntax. Common errors include missing commas, unquoted keys, trailing commas, and mismatched brackets.
What is the difference between beautify and minify?
Beautifying adds indentation and line breaks for readability. Minifying removes all whitespace to reduce file size, which is useful for production APIs and configuration files.
