JSON Editor with Validation

A live JSON editor with syntax highlighting, inline error detection, undo/redo and one-click auto-format. Edit JSON safely in the browser.

Edit JSON with confidence

The online JSON editor gives you syntax highlighting, real-time error detection with exact line and column numbers, undo/redo and one-click auto-format. Save your work and generate a shareable public link.

Built on CodeMirror 6, the editor provides the same editing experience you would expect from a local code editor — bracket matching, auto-indent and keyboard shortcuts — without installing anything. Drag and drop a .json file to load it instantly, then edit, validate and share in one workflow.
