What is the JSON Formatter & Validator from SONO-Solutions?
The JSON Formatter & Validator from SONO-Solutions is an online tool that formats, minifies, and validates JSON directly in your browser. It's ideal for debugging APIs, inspecting config files, and working with large JSON payloads — without sending data to any server.
When do you need to format & validate JSON?
- • When API responses are long and hard to read in raw form.
- • When you hit JSON parse errors and need to spot missing commas/braces.
- • When reviewing JSON config files, schemas, or manifests.
- • When you want to clean up JSON before sharing it with your team.
Features of the SONO-Solutions JSON Formatter
- • Beautify JSON with clean, consistent indentation.
- • Minify JSON to reduce size and remove unnecessary whitespace.
- • Validate JSON structure and show errors when it's invalid.
- • All operations run locally in your browser.
- • Completely free, with no sign-up or usage limits for normal use.
How to use the JSON Formatter & Validator
- 1. Paste your JSON into the input area.
- 2. Use the beautify button to format the JSON with indentation.
- 3. Use the minify option to compress JSON into a single line if needed.
- 4. Run validation to check if the JSON is structurally correct.
- 5. Copy the cleaned JSON and use it in your editor, Postman, or codebase.
This helps you focus on what the data means, instead of fighting with messy formatting or hidden syntax errors.
Practical use cases
- • Debugging API responses in Postman or browser devtools.
- • Reviewing and cleaning JSON-based config files before deployment.
- • Validating example JSON for API docs or internal wikis.
- • Sharing readable JSON snippets with frontend/backend teammates.
