One formatter instead of two bookmarks
Many developers keep JSONLint for validation and JSONFormatter.org for pretty-printing. XSular combines both flows in one editor: paste messy API responses, see the error line when JSON is invalid, then switch to formatted or minified output without reloading.
Indent with 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs; use keyboard shortcuts for format and minify modes. When the payload is fixed, copy or download the result and move on—no interstitial ads between actions.
Built for real debugging sessions
Large payloads stay in the browser. We do not upload your JSON to a backend for formatting, which matters when payloads contain user data, tokens, or internal configuration.
Pair the formatter with our JWT decoder, Base64 tool, or regex tester in the same session when you are tracing a production issue end to end.
