Open tool JSON Formatter
Format and validate one JSON value locally with readable two-space indentation.
BUILT AROUND THE TASK
Debug an API payload
Make a difficult payload readable, find syntax mistakes, and compare what changed between requests. Convert JSON to another representation only when the receiving system actually requires it.
USE WITH CONTEXT
Before you use these tools
Use synthetic examples or remove credentials and personal information before inspecting a payload. Valid JSON proves syntax, not that a request meets an API's business rules or schema.
A PRACTICAL ROUTE THROUGH THE SHELF
From raw input to reviewed output
- 1
Make the payload readable
Format a representative example and inspect the nesting. Preserve the raw input so you can compare changes.
- 2
Locate the mismatch
Validate JSON syntax and compare a working payload with the failing one. Check null values, number types, arrays, and property names.
- 3
Test the receiving API
Send the corrected sample in a test environment and inspect the response. Confirm the endpoint's schema and error behavior separately.

Questions before you start
Why does valid JSON still fail an API request?
The endpoint may require particular properties, types, credentials, or business rules. A JSON validator checks document syntax; use the API contract and its response details to understand why the server rejected the request.
