JSON-LD Beautifier

Paste any JSON-LD schema markup and get it formatted, indented, and validated. Switch between beautified and minified output instantly.

STEP 1

Paste your JSON-LD

With or without the <script> wrapper. We strip it for you.

STEP 2

Pick beautify or minify

Beautify for editing. Minify for production.

STEP 3

Get clean output

Validated and ready to copy.

Format your JSON-LD

Both human-readable and minified versions are valid for Google. Beautified is easier to edit.

Why beautify or minify JSON-LD?

JSON-LD schema markup works either way — Google reads both equally. But when you are editing, debugging, or sharing schema with a colleague, beautified (indented) JSON is far easier to read. When you push to production, minified saves a few bytes per page load.

Common reasons to use this tool

Cleaning up minified schema from another generator to inspect what it actually contains.
Validating JSON syntax before publishing. Catches missing commas, wrong quotes, escaped characters.
Minifying for production after editing to shave off whitespace.
Removing the script wrapper when you just want the raw JSON for inspection.

Good vs bad JSON-LD

✕ Bad

{"@context": "schema.org"

Missing closing brace. Invalid.

✕ Bad

{'@type': 'Product'}

Single quotes. JSON requires double quotes.

✓ Good

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Product","name":"Test"}

Minified, valid, single line.

✓ Good

{\n "@context": "https://schema.org",\n "@type": "Product"\n}

Beautified, easy to read and edit.

Frequently asked questions

Does Google care if JSON-LD is beautified or minified?

No. Both work identically. Choose based on what you need: beautified for editing, minified for slightly smaller file size.

Can I paste my JSON-LD with the <script> tag?

Yes. This tool strips the script wrapper automatically before formatting.

What if my JSON has comments?

JSON does not allow comments. If you paste JSON with // or /* comments, validation will fail.

Will this tool catch logical errors in my schema?

It catches JSON syntax errors only. For schema.org logic errors (wrong properties, missing required fields), use Google Rich Results Test.

Can I format multiple JSON-LD blocks at once?

No. Paste one block at a time. Multiple JSON objects in one input require a JSON array wrapper.
