A JSON Formatter is a tool that helps you format and beautify JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data. JSON is a widely used data interchange format that is human-readable and easy for computers to parse and generate. However, JSON data can sometimes become difficult to read and understand when it lacks proper indentation, spacing, and line breaks. A JSON Formatter takes raw JSON data and restructures it in a visually appealing and organized manner. It typically performs the following tasks:
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for both humans and machines to read and write. It is primarily used to transmit data between a server and a web application as an alternative to XML. JSON is based on a subset of the JavaScript programming language, but it is language-independent and can be used with many other programming languages.
JSON data is represented as key-value pairs and organized into two primary data structures: objects and arrays. An object is an unordered collection of key-value pairs, while an array is an ordered list of values.
Here's an example of JSON data representing information about a person:

"street": "om Main St",
"city": "New York",
"zipcode": "40001"
},
"hobbies": ["reading", "painting", "traveling"]
}
