JSON log formatter — document or NDJSON

Beautify one JSON blob or normalize multi-line NDJSON to compact one-JSON-per-line output. Processing stays in your browser.

Developer notes

• Uses JSON.parse + JSON.stringify only (no silent beautify catch). • Single-document mode when the whole paste parses as one JSON value. • Multi-record mode: one compact JSON object/array per non-empty line. • Indent applies to single-document mode only. • CRLF is normalized to LF before parsing.

Options

Indent

Spaces (2 or 4) used when pretty-printing a single JSON document. Ignored in multi-record NDJSON mode.

When teams pick this route

• Pretty-print a pasted application log object for reading. • Normalize messy NDJSON exports before sharing. • Convert pretty multi-line dumps back to one-line-per-event streams. • Pair with filter-json-logs for triage.

JSON log formatter FAQ

Document vs NDJSON

Why does indent not change NDJSON output?

When multiple JSON records are detected, output stays compact one-JSON-per-line (true NDJSON). Indent only applies when the whole paste is a single JSON document.
