JSON Viewer

Paste your JSON, drag in a file, or load one from a web address. You get a color-coded tree you can open and close, and one click copies the path to any value. We never see your data — it all happens in your browser.

What you can do with it

  • • Tidy up messy JSON in one click, or squash it onto a single line
  • • Sort the keys into alphabetical order
  • • Drag a .json, .ndjson, or .jsonl file straight onto the page
  • • Load JSON from a web address, handy for sharing a live API response
  • • Open and close nested sections in a tree, with each value labeled by its type
  • • Click any value to copy its path, so you can point someone else at the exact spot
  • • Search names and values to jump straight to what you need

Example: inspecting an API response

Paste something like this and you get a tree you can open and close, instead of a wall of text.

{
  "user": {
    "id": 482,
    "name": "Ada Lovelace",
    "roles": ["admin", "editor"],
    "meta": { "lastLogin": "2026-07-01T09:12:00Z", "verified": true }
  }
}

Click meta.lastLogin in the tree and its full path is copied for you — no counting brackets.

Working with bigger or line-delimited files?

This page suits everyday files. If yours is hundreds of megabytes, the Large JSON Viewer keeps the tab from locking up. If it has one JSON object per line — logs, exports, LLM training data — use the NDJSON Viewer. And if your JSON is broken, start with JSON Repair.

FAQ

Is this JSON viewer free?

Yes — free, and there is nothing to sign up for. It all runs in your browser.

Does my JSON get uploaded anywhere?

No. We never see your data — reading, tidying, and searching all happen in your own browser tab. The one exception is when you load JSON from a web address, and even then your browser fetches it straight from that site.

What file sizes are supported?

This viewer handles everyday API responses and config files comfortably. For files up to 500MB, use the Large JSON Viewer instead.
