Paste or edit JSON in the editor below, then use the buttons above to quickly format, minify and validate it. You can also convert the result to YAML or a PHP array for configs and documentation.
In real projects we constantly deal with JSON: request bodies, responses, configuration files and logs. However, copied or hand‑written JSON is often messy, poorly indented or even invalid. This online JSON tool lets you format, beautify, compress and validate JSON directly in the browser, no extra software needed.
Click “Format” to turn a one‑line JSON or unindented block into a clean, multi‑line structure that is easy to read and debug. Click “Minify” to remove whitespace and line breaks, producing a compact JSON string that is ideal for embedding into code or sending over the wire. The validator checks syntax in real time and points out the approximate line and column of errors.
Beyond formatting and validation, this tool can convert JSON into YAML or PHP array form. This is handy when preparing infrastructure configs, writing documentation, or pasting sample data into backend code. You can tweak the JSON in the editor and then copy the converted YAML or PHP array from the result panel.
All processing happens in your browser; data is not uploaded to the server, making it suitable even for JSON that contains sensitive fields. The page is optimized for both desktop and mobile, and with the QR code you can easily switch devices while keeping the same tool.bzxz.net JSON experience.
Typical reasons include a trailing comma after the last item, missing double quotes around keys or strings, or using non‑ASCII quotes. Check the reported line and column to locate the problem.
No. All formatting, minifying and validation are done in your browser, so it is safe to use with sensitive debug data.
In most cases yes, but you should still review naming conventions, indentation style and any project‑specific rules before committing the code.
Use formatted JSON when reading, reviewing or debugging data. Use minified JSON when embedding it into code or sending it over the network to reduce size.
It is useful for API integration, frontend–backend handoff, crawler development, log inspection and configuration editing—whenever you need to examine or clean up JSON.
This web tool works without any local setup and is perfect for quick checks, sharing links, or working on machines and phones where you do not have a full development environment.
Yes. tools.bzxz.net is a multilingual toolbox, so you can open the same JSON feature under different language paths and share links with teammates worldwide.
Many DevOps and cloud‑native platforms prefer YAML configs. Converting JSON examples to YAML lets you reuse payloads directly in CI/CD pipelines or infrastructure definitions.
When working on PHP projects such as Laravel or WordPress extensions, you can debug your JSON here, then convert it into array syntax and paste it straight into config or code.
The layout is mobile‑friendly, and with the QR code you can quickly open the same page on your phone to view, validate and share JSON anywhere.
Great for frontend, backend, QA and ops engineers to inspect API payloads, debug requests, write configs or generate YAML / PHP array snippets.
