About JSON Formatting
What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language.

JSON Formatting Options
  • Beautify: Adds proper indentation and line breaks to make JSON more readable for humans.
  • Minify: Removes all unnecessary whitespace to reduce file size, ideal for production environments.
