A JSON formatter is a tool that takes raw JSON data and formats it to be more readable by adding indentations, line breaks, and syntax highlighting. This helps in debugging and understanding JSON data easily.

It parses your JSON input, validates its structure, and displays it in a clean, organized format. If there are errors in your JSON, the tool will provide helpful feedback so you can correct them.

What is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)?
