What PerfectJSON is
PerfectJSON is a free browser-based tool for formatting, validating, editing, comparing, and converting JSON. It can format or minify a document and validate it against RFC 8259, RFC 7159, RFC 4627, and ECMA-404, identifying errors by line and column. Its one-click Auto-fix can address trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys, comments, and unbalanced brackets. Editing options include tree and table views, raw text editing with live highlighting, and a side-by-side diff viewer. PerfectJSON can convert JSON to YAML, CSV, plain text, or formatted or minified JSON, with results available to copy or download. Its lossless parser preserves large numbers and 64-bit IDs above 9007199254740991 through formatting and editing. Parsing, validation, formatting, comparison, and conversion happen locally in the browser; edited JSON is not uploaded, and documents and preferences are stored in browser local storage. No account is required. The site supports current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop and mobile with JavaScript enabled, and displays ads.
