Tool guides
JSON Formatter — beautify, minify, sort, escape, validate, and inspect JSON. Paste malformed JSON and see the error line.
JSON Diff — compare two payloads and see semantic changes with color-coded additions, changes, and removals.
Schema Validator — validate JSON against a schema or generate a starter schema from sample data.
JWT Decoder — inspect header and payload without sending your token anywhere.
Quick Utilities — Base64, URL encoding/decoding, timestamps, UUIDs, and hashes.
Privacy
All processing happens locally in your browser. Your JSON, JWTs, schemas, API responses, and text inputs never leave your machine. Read the full privacy policy.
