Paste JSON to format it, validate it with precise error locations, repair common mistakes, minify it or sort keys.
Free, no sign-up. Runs in your browser: nothing is uploaded.
Your files are opened and processed by your browser on this device. They are never uploaded to openWorkstand or anyone else, so the JSON Formatter is safe for contracts, IDs, photos and work documents, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. How local processing works
Strict JSON allows neither, so validation stops at the comment on line 2, column 3. “Try to repair” removes the comment and trailing comma, quotes the key and converts single quotes:
{
// settings for the app
name: 'openWorkstand',
"tags": ["pdf", "image",],
}{
"name": "openWorkstand",
"tags": [
"pdf",
"image"
]
}Choose “Minify” to remove all spaces and line breaks, for example to paste JSON into an environment variable or a URL parameter.
Check that it is one of the supported formats above and opens in another app. Damaged files and password-protected PDFs cannot be read until they are repaired or unlocked.
Everything runs on your device, so speed depends on its memory. Close other tabs, use a computer rather than a phone, or split the file into smaller parts first.
Look for your browser’s download bar or icon. Some browsers ask once before a site may download files; allow it and click the button again.
Common causes are trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys and comments, none of which JSON allows. Try the Repair button.
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type or open is sent to a server, so it is safe for private and work data, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
After you download, choose “Save to Workstand” to keep the result in a folder on your computer, attach it to a project and create a follow-up task. It is saved by your browser, not uploaded.
