Features of the JSON Editor

Everything a developer expects from a code editor — tuned for JSON, running in the browser.

Syntax highlighting

Keys, strings, numbers, and booleans are color-coded so the shape of the document reads at a glance, even mid-edit.

JSON-aware search

Cmd/Ctrl+F jumps to any key or value, with matches across folded subtrees so nothing hides from you.

Copy by JSON path

Grab any node by its path with a single click — no manual selection, no risk of copying the wrong closing bracket.

Live validation

Syntax errors are flagged as you type, with the broken line highlighted in the gutter. No surprises when you save.

Keyboard-first

Format with Cmd/Ctrl+S, search with Cmd/Ctrl+F, undo/redo, multi-cursor — every shortcut you’d expect from a real code editor.

Stays in your browser

All edits happen locally. JSON Pretty doesn’t send your work to a server, doesn’t log keystrokes, doesn’t store anything off your machine.

How to edit JSON in three steps

Open the editor, make changes, copy the result — all in the same tab.

1

Open the editor

Paste your JSON, upload a .json file, or land here from the Chrome extension.

2

Edit in place

Change values, rename keys, restructure arrays. Syntax highlighting and live validation guide you.

3

Re-format and copy

Hit Format to re-apply clean indentation, then copy the result or any subtree by its JSON path.

Convert, transform, and reshape JSON across formats — all in your browser.

FAQ about our JSON Editor

A JSON editor lets you change a document in place — rename keys, tweak values, add or remove nodes, restructure arrays. JSON Pretty pairs that with syntax highlighting, fold controls, search, and inline validation so the document stays well-formed while you work on it.

Yes — that's the whole point. The editor runs entirely in the browser, no install, no plugins. You can paste, upload a .json file, or land on the editor directly from the Chrome extension's “Open in editor” button.

Yes. Pasted JSON is reformatted automatically. The moment you start typing your own changes, auto-formatting steps out of the way so it doesn’t reflow what you’re editing. One click on Format puts the indentation back when you’re done.

Yes. Parsing and validation run off the main thread, so even large JSON files stay responsive. Fold deep subtrees to keep scrolling fast on really long documents.

Cmd/Ctrl+F opens search across the whole document, Cmd/Ctrl+S re-applies formatting, and the usual editor shortcuts (undo, redo, multi-cursor selection) work as expected. Fold and unfold are one click in the gutter.

All editing happens locally in your browser. JSON Pretty doesn't send your data to a server, doesn't log keystrokes, and doesn't store anything outside your machine.
