JSON formatter

Pretty-print it to read, minify it to ship, or sort the keys so two files can be compared.

Tidy up JSON now No key, no code — 1 credit either way.

curl -X POST "$DOATHING_API/v1/core/json-format" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DOATHING_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "{\"b\":1,\"a\":2}", "options": {"sort_keys": true}}'

Pretty-print it to read, minify it to ship, or sort the keys so two files can be compared.

Pretty-print, minify or key-sort JSON with a configurable indent.

Input

Send either a text string or a file object. A file is decoded as UTF-8 and must be one of text/plain, application/json, text/csv, text/yaml, application/xml.

Response

The result carries your remaining balance alongside it, so you can track spend without a second call.

{
  "text": "{\n  \"a\": 2,\n  \"b\": 1\n}",
  "bytes": 22,
  "mode": "pretty",
  "request_id": "37f01edb-0163-42a1-ac51-0acaef979800",

}

Cost

1 credit per call, whether it is run from the site or from the API — the credential differs, the price does not. A new account starts with 20 credits.

A rejected request still costs a credit: the authorizer decrements before the tool validates. A call rejected for a missing or invalid key is free.

Parameters

Generated from the endpoint’s own validation, so this is exactly what it accepts. A body field goes at the top level; an option goes inside options.
