Better JSON Viewer is a fast, privacy-first online JSON viewer that formats, validates, and visualizes any payload without uploading data to a server. Paste JSON, hit Validate & Format, and ship clean APIs or configs in seconds.

Whether you are debugging an API response, auditing event logs, or converting production exports, Better JSON Viewer keeps everything local, accessible, and optimized for developer workflows.

Why developers choose this JSON viewer

Purpose-built for engineers who demand accuracy, speed, and airtight privacy when working with JSON.

Format & validate instantly

Stop pasting payloads into multiple tools. Beautify, lint, and validate JSON in one click or via keyboard shortcuts. Syntax errors are pinpointed with line numbers so fixes take seconds.

Explore with tree view

Switch to the tree viewer to collapse massive objects, inspect nested arrays, and copy node values without losing context. Perfect for event logs and deeply nested responses.

Compare & diff payloads

Compare two versions of a JSON response to highlight additions, removals, and edits. Developers use it to review config changes, audit releases, and catch regression bugs.

Convert without downloads

Convert JSON to CSV, YAML, or XML, extract keys, and generate JSON Schema locally. No account, no uploads, and no proprietary formats—just clean data export.

How Better JSON Viewer fits into your workflow

1. Paste or drop JSON

Paste from an API client, log tail, or clipboard. Better JSON Viewer accepts minified strings, arrays, or objects of any size your browser can handle.

2. Inspect with confidence

Switch between formatted output, tree view, diff, and query tabs to inspect structures, evaluate conditional logic, or extract key/value paths.

3. Export and share

Copy validated payloads, export CSV for spreadsheets, or generate JSON Schema for documentation. Everything stays private and reproducible.

Teams rely on Better JSON Viewer for QA sign-off, incident response, analytics governance, and day-to-day API debugging—without exposing production data to third-party services.

JSON viewer features built for privacy and scale

Designed for developers who handle sensitive logs, customer data, and mission-critical payloads.

Client-side processing

Every operation happens locally in your browser. No uploads, tracking pixels, or vendor lock-in—ideal for finance, healthcare, and enterprise teams.

Performance at scale

Optimized rendering keeps large JSON documents responsive. Collapse nested structures, search keys, and diff thousands of lines without lag.

Keyboard-first UX

Ship faster using shortcuts for format, copy, and tab switching. Keep focus on the data instead of menus.

Developer resources

Deep guides for validation, schema design, conversion, and troubleshooting help you level up your JSON workflow.
