JSON or JavaScript Object Notation is a lightweight text-based open standard designed for human-readable data interchange.
The JSON format was originally specified by Douglas Crockford, and is described in RFC 4627.
JSON is a schema-less, text-based representation of structured data that is based on key-value pairs and ordered lists.
JSON is light weight, faster and standard for exchanging data between web and mobile clients and back-end services.
For software that communicates with a browser or native mobile application, use JSON as the data format.
JSON is less Verbose and faster than XML. It is straightforward and readable. It uses a map data structure rather than XML's tree.
No schema, Only one number type, No date type, No support for comments.
The JSON Indent is by product of a Software Engineer’s weekend programming and aimed to help developers with JSON formatting.
Debugging with unformatted JSON data is always pain, especially with those large JSON payloads without line breaks.
This tool is to help developers to indent and validate JSON data and get it in readable format for debugging purpose.
How to use it? Simple, just copy and paste or directly type in the editor above and get the formatted JSON.
Credits - We want to thanks Douglas Crockford of JSON and JSLint.
And Zach Carter for providing pure JavaScript implementation of JSLint.
