JSON Viewer Online — View JSON as an Interactive Table
Paste any JSON above and it instantly renders as a structured, interactive table — nested objects included. Sort columns, search values, navigate deep hierarchies, and export to CSV or Excel. Everything runs in your browser.
How to Use the JSON Viewer
Paste or Upload Your JSON
Got JSON from an API, a file, or your terminal? Three ways to get it in:
Example: Try pasting this JSON
An array of objects — the kind of response you'd get from most REST APIs:
{ "employees": [ { "id": 1, "name": "John Smith", "department": "Engineering", "salary": 75000, "active": true }, { "id": 2, "name": "Sarah Wilson", "department": "Marketing", "salary": 68000, "active": false } ] }

Your JSON is now a table. Here is what you can do with it:

Frequently Asked Questions — JSON Viewer
What is a JSON viewer and what is it used for?
Think of it as reading glasses for JSON. When you get a raw API response or open a config file and see a wall of curly braces, a JSON viewer lays it out visually so you can actually understand what you're looking at — which keys exist, what values they hold, how everything is nested. Most developers reach for it when debugging an unfamiliar API or quickly checking whether a payload looks right, without having to mentally parse JSON line by line.
How do I view deeply nested JSON without losing track of structure?
This is honestly where most online JSON viewers fall apart — you expand one level and lose context of where you are. Here, each nesting level stays visible as an indented sub-table under its parent, so you always know what belongs to what. If you're looking for something specific, type it in the search box and it jumps you straight there across all levels. No more counting brackets to figure out which object you're inside.
What data types does the JSON viewer display?
All of them — strings, numbers, booleans (true / false), null, objects, and arrays. Nothing gets flattened or summarized — nested objects expand into their own sub-tables inline, so you see the full JSON structure without losing depth. What you paste in is exactly what gets shown, just in a format your eyes can follow.
Is my JSON data safe when using this online viewer?
Everything runs in your browser. Your JSON never touches a server, never gets logged, never gets stored. So if you're pasting something sensitive — an internal API response, a config file with credentials, a customer data export — it stays on your machine. Close the tab and it's gone.
Can I view JSON from an API response directly?
That's probably the most common use. Open your browser's network tab, copy the response body, paste it here. Works with REST, GraphQL, whatever format your API returns — as long as it's valid JSON it'll render instantly. If the response is minified into one long line, that's fine too.
What is the difference between a JSON viewer and a JSON editor?
A viewer is for reading — paste JSON in and look at it. A JSON editor is for changing — modify keys, values, and structure directly. The practical difference is intent: if someone sent you a JSON file and you want to understand what's in it, use the viewer. If you need to fix a value, add a field, or restructure something, switch to the editor.
Can I use the JSON viewer online to search inside a large JSON file?
Type the field name or value into the search box. Say you're looking for a userId buried three levels deep — type "userId" and the viewer highlights every match immediately, across all nesting levels. You don't have to manually expand nodes or scroll through hundreds of rows.
