Free JSON Viewer

How to View JSON Online

Paste your JSON into the left panel and an interactive tree view appears on the right. Click the ▶ arrows to expand or collapse objects and arrays. Click any key name to copy its dot-notation path. You can also drag and drop a .json file or use the upload button.

When to Use a JSON Viewer

A JSON viewer is essential for debugging API responses, exploring large configuration files, inspecting database exports, and understanding complex nested data structures. The tree view makes it easy to navigate deeply nested JSON that would be hard to read as raw text.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the JSON Viewer do?

The JSON Viewer parses your JSON and displays it as an interactive, collapsible tree. Objects and arrays can be expanded or collapsed, and values are color-coded by type (strings in green, numbers in amber, booleans in purple, null in gray).

Can I copy a JSON path?

Yes — click any key name in the tree to copy its dot-notation path to your clipboard (e.g., data.users[0].name). This is useful for referencing specific values in code or APIs.

Is this viewer free?

Yes — completely free, forever. No sign-up, no account, no usage limits.

Is my data safe?

All parsing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your JSON is never uploaded to any server. It's safe to use with sensitive or proprietary data.

How deep does the tree expand?

The tree starts expanded to 2 levels deep. You can click any node to expand or collapse it, or use the Reset button to restore the default view.

Can I also edit JSON?

For editing, use the JSON Editor which provides a tree preview alongside an editable raw JSON panel.
