About This Tool

This JSON formatter allows you to validate, beautify, minify, and compact your JSON data. Here's what each function does:

• Validate: Checks if your JSON is valid without modifying it.
• Beautify: Formats your JSON with proper indentation and line breaks for readability.
• Minify: Removes all whitespace to create the smallest possible valid JSON.
• Compact: Creates a balance between readability and size by keeping array and object structure but minimizing whitespace.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. It's based on a subset of JavaScript syntax and is language-independent.

Common uses of JSON include:

• Exchanging data between a web server and client
• Storing configuration data
• API responses
• Data storage in NoSQL databases
