Edit JSON Online
A JSON editor is a workspace where you can read and change a JSON document with the editor knowing the rules of JSON.
When you paste a payload into our JSON Editor, the editor highlights the syntax, folds long objects, and draws a live tree on the right. The status bar at the bottom tells you whether the JSON parses and which line broke it.
You can also reshape the same payload from the sidebar. Sort the keys when a config diff is noisy. Flatten to dot paths when you need a spreadsheet column list. Search and replace when a key was renamed across the schema.
How to Use the JSON Editor
- Load the document: paste into the left editor, click Upload JSON, or drag a .json file onto the workspace.
- Pick a workflow: use the sidebar to jump between JSON Editor, Tree Editor, Sort Keys, Flatten JSON, Unflatten JSON, and Search and Replace.
- Read the live feedback: the tree on the right rebuilds on every keystroke, the bottom bar updates validity, root type, key count, depth, and length.
- Take the result with you: hit Copy or Download, or stay in the workspace and pipe the output into the next transform.
Features of Our JSON Editor
CodeMirror with Live Tree
CodeMirror with live tree pairs a real code editor with a recursive tree that rebuilds on every keystroke.
Tree-First Navigator
The tree-first navigator collapses and expands branches by key count so a deep payload reads at a glance.
Recursive Key Sort
Recursive key sort reorders every object alphabetically while leaving array order alone.
Flatten to Dot Paths
Flatten to dot paths gives you keys like user.address.city, ready for a spreadsheet column or a log query.
Unflatten Back to Nested
Unflatten back to nested rebuilds the original object from dot-notation keys with numeric arrays detected automatically.
Bulk Search and Replace
Bulk search and replace renames a repeated key or fixes a typo across the whole payload with one-click undo.
