What Is a JSON Viewer?
A JSON Viewer is an online tool that helps you read, format, and validate JSON data in a structured and human-readable way. Raw JSON data is often difficult to understand due to nested objects, arrays, and compact formatting. Our JSON Viewer transforms unformatted or minified JSON into a clean, expandable tree structure with syntax highlighting and built-in validation. Whether you're debugging API responses, analyzing configuration files, or working with large datasets, this tool makes JSON easy to explore and understand.
Interactive Tree View
Expand and collapse nested objects and arrays to easily navigate complex JSON structures and large API responses.
Built-In JSON Validation
Automatically detect and highlight invalid JSON syntax, missing commas, incorrect brackets, and formatting errors.
Beautify & Minify JSON
Pretty print JSON for readability or minify it for compact storage and faster data transmission with one click.
Why Use This JSON Viewer?
Improve Readability Instantly
Minified or raw JSON is hard to scan. Our viewer formats it into a clean, structured layout so you can quickly understand keys, values, and nested objects.
Debug API Responses Faster
When working with REST or GraphQL APIs, quickly inspect response data, validate structure, and identify errors before they impact your application.
Work with Large & Complex JSON
Handle deeply nested JSON objects, arrays, and large datasets smoothly using the expandable tree interface.
100% Browser-Based & Secure
All processing happens directly in your browser. No data is uploaded or stored on any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
When Should You Use a JSON Viewer?
Inspecting API Responses
Use the JSON Viewer to analyze REST or GraphQL API responses from tools like Postman, Axios, Fetch, or backend services.
Formatting JSON Files
