Data

Choose JSON Formatter for data written as JSON objects and arrays, such as a saved API response or application configuration. Choose XML Viewer for documents organized with XML elements and attributes. The format of your source determines the appropriate starting point.

Formatting can make a dense JSON document easier to read, while exploring an XML tree helps reveal nested elements. Both approaches help you find a value in its structural context instead of searching through an undifferentiated block of text.

A document can be syntactically valid without containing the values your application expects. Read field names, nesting and repeated entries together, and distinguish a formatting change from an actual change to the data.

These tools process the supplied content locally in your browser. Work on a copy when inspecting or editing a document, and check the result before using it elsewhere. Successful parsing is not a guarantee that the document meets an external schema or a particular business rule.
