JSON Formatter

Only whitespace changes. Large numbers, decimal/exponent notation, key order, duplicate keys and string escapes stay as written. Duplicate keys remain ambiguous to other parsers. Up to 1,000,000 input characters, 100 nesting levels and 5,000,000 output characters. Processing stays in your browser.

HOW IT WORKS

Use the json formatter in seconds

Format API responses and configuration files without rounding large numeric IDs. Only whitespace between tokens changes: decimal and exponent notation, key order, duplicate keys and string escapes stay as written. Duplicate keys can still be interpreted differently by downstream parsers. Input is limited to 1,000,000 characters and 100 nesting levels; output to 5,000,000 characters.

WORKED EXAMPLE
