About This Tool

The Advanced JSON Formatter is a professional-grade tool designed for developers who work with JSON data daily. Unlike basic formatters, this tool provides multiple viewing modes including an interactive tree view with collapsible nodes, syntax-highlighted code view, and raw text view. The tree view lets you explore complex nested structures visually, with type indicators showing whether each value is a string, number, boolean, null, array, or object.

Advanced features include real-time validation with detailed error messages, customizable indentation (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs), minification for production use, and alphabetical key sorting. The search functionality lets you filter through large JSON files instantly, while the expand/collapse controls help you focus on specific sections. Hover over any node to see its full JSON path, and use the copy buttons to quickly grab values or paths.

The diff mode is perfect for comparing two JSON objects, highlighting additions, removals, and value changes with color-coded indicators. Statistics show you the structure at a glance - total keys, nesting depth, number of objects and arrays, and file size. Import JSON from files, export formatted results, and work with confidence knowing all processing happens locally in your browser for complete privacy.
