    • Click the “Analyze JSON” button to perform the analysis. The tool will break down the structure of your JSON data.
  3. View Results:
    • The tool will output an analysis of your JSON data, including the number of keys, the type of data, and nested objects or arrays.
  4. Copy or Export:
    • You can copy the analysis to your clipboard using the “Copy Output” button.
    • Alternatively, export the analysis as a .json file by clicking “Export to File”.
  5. Clear All:

What Analyze JSON can do:

The Analyze JSON tool is designed to help you quickly gain insights into any JSON object. It performs the following analyses:

  • Data Types: Identifies the data types (string, number, object, etc.) in the JSON.
  • Nested Structures: Detects nested objects and arrays, providing a count of how many are present.
  • Key Insights: Shows the number of keys at the top level of the JSON object.

Key Features:

  • Manual and File Input: Paste your JSON or import it from a file.
  • Instant Analysis: Analyze the JSON structure and get the results in real-time.
  • Copy and Export: Copy the results to your clipboard or save them as a .json file.
  • Clear All: Reset the tool to start fresh.

Example:

Input (JSON):

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "New York",
  "contact": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "phone": "123-456-7890"
  }
}

Output (Analysis):

{
  "type": "object",
  "isArray": false,
  "keys": ["name", "age", "city", "contact"],
  "length": 4,
  "nestedObjects": 1
}

Common Use Cases:

The Analyze JSON tool is useful for anyone working with JSON data:

  • API Development: Quickly assess the structure of the JSON responses from APIs.
  • Data Processing: Understand the JSON format before processing it in your code.
  • Debugging: Analyze JSON data to find errors or unexpected structures in your data.

This tool helps you gain a better understanding of JSON data, making it easier to work with and manipulate for your applications.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Before diving into structure, Extract JSON Keys/Values can be used to break out the core data for a closer look. Then, if you’re cleaning things up, Sort JSON Object Keys helps bring order to the chaos and makes analysis a whole lot easier.
