How to Format JSON From an API Response

Format raw JSON from an API response so nested data, arrays, and fields are easier to inspect.

Fast workflow

Raw API responses are often compacted into one long line. Paste the response into JSON Formatter to add indentation and make nested fields easier to scan.

If the formatter cannot parse the response, check for missing commas, mismatched brackets, or copied text around the JSON. After formatting, use Text Compare to review changes between two response samples.

For responses that contain links, Extract URLs can pull endpoints or media URLs into a clean list for review.
