The Format JSON tool automatically beautifies raw JSON data, transforming it into a clean, indented structure that’s easier to read and debug.

Why it matters

Unformatted JSON is hard to scan, especially with nested objects. Formatting improves readability and makes errors easier to catch.

Advantages

• Readability: Indented JSON is easier to navigate.
• Debugging: Quickly spot missing commas or brackets.
• Collaboration: Share cleaner data with teammates.
• Word Wrap: For improved readability of long Format JSON, toggle word wrap using Alt+Z (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Alt+Z (Mac).

Use case

When working with an API response that comes as a single line, paste it in and instantly format it for inspection.
