Encode JSON Online
A JSON encoder turns a JSON payload into a safe version of itself for somewhere else to read.
When you try to drop raw JSON into a URL or an HTML attribute, the characters inside it usually break the place you are pasting it into. A JSON encoder rewrites those characters so the surrounding system stops choking on them.
Our JSON Encoder gives you one editor for all of it. JSON string when the destination is another JSON field. Base64 for a data URI or a JWT body. URL when the JSON has to ride inside a query string. Unicode for ASCII-only systems. HTML entity for an attribute. Hex when you need to read the raw bytes.
How to Use the JSON Encoder
- Get your JSON into the editor: paste it, click Upload File, or drop a .json or .txt file onto the workspace.
- Pick where it has to go next: JSON string for a property value, Base64 for a JWT or data URI, URL for a query parameter, Unicode for an ASCII-only pipe, HTML entity for an attribute, hex for protocol debugging.
- Watch the output as you go: the result pane redraws on every keystroke and the status bar shows input size, output size, and the expansion ratio.
- Send it on: click Copy or Download and paste the result into wherever you needed it.
Features of Our JSON Encoder
JSON String Escape
A JSON string escape wraps your payload as a single-line literal you can drop into a property value.
UTF-8 Safe Base64
UTF-8 safe Base64 keeps multi-byte characters intact, so JWT bodies and data URIs encode cleanly.
RFC 3986 URL Encode
RFC 3986 URL encode percent-escapes every reserved character so the payload survives a query string.
Unicode Escape
Unicode escape converts non-ASCII bytes into \\uXXXX sequences for legacy ASCII-only systems.
HTML Entity Safe
HTML entity safe encoding closes the XSS gap when JSON ends up inside a server-rendered attribute.
UTF-8 Hex Dump
A UTF-8 hex dump prints the underlying bytes as space-separated pairs for protocol debugging.

Built for API Engineers, Web Developers, and Security Reviewers
If your JSON will not fit in a URL or keeps breaking an HTML attribute, our JSON Encoder handles the escaping in one click. You pick the encoding mode that matches where the JSON needs to go, and the output is ready to paste.
Cleanest way to encode JSON for any transport
Every encoder in our JSON Encoder routes bytes through TextEncoder before reaching btoa or hex, so a JWT with an emoji in the display name comes out the way it went in instead of throwing InvalidCharacterError.
Six Modes, One Editor
Switch between JSON, Base64, URL, Unicode, HTML, and hex without re-pasting.
UTF-8 Done Right
Multi-byte characters survive Base64 and hex thanks to TextEncoder under the hood.
Never Hits a Server
Every encode runs on your device through native browser APIs, never uploaded.
