JSON Editor

How to use this JSON editor

Paste your JSON into the input box on the left. Use the toolbar to format, minify, validate, sort keys, or escape it. Switch to the Tree tab to explore the structure visually — expand/collapse any node, use the built-in search box to jump to matching keys and values, and read each node's path from the navigation bar.

Features

• Format — pretty-print JSON with 2-space indentation.
• Minify — remove all whitespace to shrink the payload.
• Validate — check whether your JSON is syntactically valid.
• Sort keys — alphabetically sort object keys for stable diffs.
• Escape / Unescape — handle embedded quotes and special characters.
• Tree view — collapsible hierarchy powered by JSONEditor, with expand/collapse-all controls.
• Search — built-in search inside the tree view jumps to matching keys and values.
