Json Beautifier

JSON Beautifier (JSON Formatter)

Format and Beautify JSON Data - Transform Minified or Messy JSON into Clean, Readable Structure

What is the JSON Beautifier Tool?

The JSON Beautifier (also called JSON Formatter or JSON Pretty Printer) is a free online utility that transforms minified, compressed, or poorly formatted JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data into clean, well-structured, and easy-to-read format by adding proper indentation, line breaks, and consistent spacing. This tool takes unreadable JSON—whether minified for transmission, copied from an API response, or generated by a system—and reformats it with clear hierarchy visualization, making it dramatically easier to debug, understand, and work with complex data structures.static+3​

Whether you're a web developer debugging API responses, a data analyst working with JSON datasets, a software engineer testing API integrations, learning JSON and need to understand structure, preparing data for documentation or sharing, or anyone working with JSON files in development or analysis, the CyberTools JSON Beautifier provides instant, intelligent formatting with syntax highlighting, tree view navigation, validation capabilities, and complete browser-based privacy.jsonformatter+2​

Before and After Example

Minified JSON (Before Beautification)

json
{"name":"John Doe","age":30,"email":"john@example.com","address":{"street":"123 Main St","city":"New York","state":"NY","zip":"10001"},"phoneNumbers":[{"type":"home","number":"555-1234"},{"type":"work","number":"555-5678"}],"isActive":true,"roles":["admin","user"]}

Problems:

• Everything on one line
• No indentation
• Hard to read structure
• Difficult to debug
• Impossible to navigate nested objects

Beautified JSON (After Formatting)

json
{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "age": 30,
  "email": "john@example.com",
  "address": {
    "street": "123 Main St",
    "city": "New York",
    "state": "NY",
    "zip": "10001"
  },
  "phoneNumbers": [
    {
      "type": "home",
      "number": "555-1234"
    },
    {
      "type": "work",
      "number": "555-5678"
    }
  ],
  "isActive": true,
  "roles": [
    "admin",
    "user"
  ]
}

Improvements:

• Clear hierarchy and structure
• Proper indentation for readability
• Line breaks between elements
• Easy to understand nesting
• Simple to edit and maintain
