JSON Tools
JSON Tools — 8 free browser-based developer tools including JSON Formatter & Viewer, JSON Validator and JSON Diff. Everything runs locally with no signup or uploads, so your data stays private and results are instant.
How to Use
- 1Validate before anything else— Paste the payload into the JSON Validator: it reports the exact line and column of the first syntax error and flags duplicate keys.
- 2Format and explore— The JSON Formatter re-indents the document and opens it as a collapsible tree, and JSON Path Finder copies the JSONPath of any node you click.
- 3Convert or compare— Turn the result into CSV, YAML or XML with the converters, diff two payloads with JSON Diff, or infer a spec with the JSON Schema Generator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Start with the JSON Validator — it reports the exact line and column of the syntax error and flags duplicate keys, which usually comes down to a missing comma or an unquoted key. Once it parses, the JSON Formatter re-indents it and shows a collapsible tree so you can read a large API response.
No. Every tool in this category runs on the browser's own JSON engine, so the data never leaves the tab. That makes it safe to paste API responses containing access tokens or customer records.
Yes, and all three converters work in both directions. JSON to CSV flattens nested objects into columns, while the YAML and XML converters auto-detect which format you pasted. If you need a contract rather than a conversion, the JSON Schema Generator infers types and required fields from a sample.
