Formatters

Updated

JSON Formatter

The JSON Formatter takes raw, minified, or broken JSON and outputs clean, indented, human-readable JSON. It also validates the input — if there’s a syntax error, you’ll see an error message pointing to the problem.

Using the JSON Formatter

  1. Open SecureStack and go to the Tools tab
  2. Select JSON Formatter
  3. Paste your JSON into the input field
  4. The formatted output appears immediately below
  5. Click Copy to copy the result to your clipboard

Common Use Cases

  • Formatting minified API responses for debugging
  • Validating JSON config files before committing
  • Cleaning up JSON payloads when testing webhooks

Error Messages

If the input is not valid JSON, the formatter displays a validation error. Fix the syntax error in the input field and the output updates automatically.

XML Formatter

The XML Formatter formats and validates XML documents. Paste raw or compact XML and get back a properly indented, readable version.

Using the XML Formatter

  1. Open SecureStack and go to the Tools tab
  2. Select XML Formatter
  3. Paste your XML into the input field
  4. The formatted output appears immediately below
  5. Click Copy to copy the result to your clipboard

Common Use Cases

  • Formatting XML API responses (SOAP, RSS feeds, Xcode plists)
  • Validating XML configuration files
  • Cleaning up exported data before importing elsewhere

Error Messages

If the input is not well-formed XML, an error message is shown. Correct the input and the formatter re-validates automatically.
