JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is an open and lightweight format that uses human-readable text to structure, store, and transmit data over a network. JSON is independent of the programming language of your system and is easy to parse into logical syntactic components, even though it is derived from JavaScript.JSON is a widely used data format that is often used to store and transfer data objects, for example, for client/server interactions. JSON is an informative and easy-to-understand format. The MIME type for JSON is application/json. JSON files use the .json filename extension.
JSON is primarily used for transferring data over the network, and many servers minify it to save bandwidth. This does not affect the data in the JSON file, but it makes the JSON code unreadable to humans. Also, when generating or minimizing a JSON file, servers may sometimes generate incorrect JSON, leading to data corruption and causing API clients and servers to work incorrectly. Finding an error in JSON data string can be difficult and time-consuming. When formatting JSON manually, you may inadvertently break JSON and break your application. Therefore, it becomes mandatory to format the JSON code with a JSON formatter, which allows you to display the code in a tree and form view and see errors in the JSON. The best solution to troubleshoot JSON errors and save time is to use an online tool that formats JSON and indicates errors, such as ReqBin Online JSON Formatter and Validator.

}JSON is derived from JavaScript, but no JavaScript knowledge is required to use it. When creating JSON, certain rules must be followed:
Well-formatted JSON is easy for humans to read but usually takes up more disk space. You can programmatically print JSON data in different programming languages. Learn how to pretty-print JSON in JavaScript and Python.
If you need to format XML data strings, you can use our XML Formatter, which provides the same feature set as JSON Formatter but for XML strings.
