Instructions

How to use JSON Beautifier

Paste JSON or choose a local .json file, select indentation, optionally sort keys, then choose Beautify JSON.

Real input and output example

{"z":1,"a":{"ready":true}} becomes a readable multi-line document while values and array order remain unchanged.

Diagnostics and limitations

What this tool reports clearly

Key sorting changes object member order in the generated output. Although JSON object order has no semantic meaning, some human workflows rely on its presentation.

Privacy

Files are read with browser APIs and processing runs in a dedicated local Worker. Your JSON is never placed in a network request.

FAQ

Common question

Does beautifying change values?

No. The document must parse first, and serialization preserves values and array order.
