The tool comes first
Formalint opens with usable workspaces instead of marketing pages. Each page is designed around one clear job: format, validate, inspect, convert, encode or debug.
Browser-based developer tools
Format JSON, test regex, lint XML, clean YAML, review SQL and debug API payloads with a calm local-first toolset and a growing reference library for real engineering work.

Operating standard
Formalint opens with usable workspaces instead of marketing pages. Each page is designed around one clear job: format, validate, inspect, convert, encode or debug.
Developer utilities become more useful when they explain limits. The guides cover parser behavior, regex safety, validation boundaries, API debugging order and when a dedicated parser is safer than a pattern.
The footer links to privacy preferences, policies, editorial standards, local processing notes and contact details so users and reviewers can understand how the site operates.

Reference notes
Formalint keeps formatting work inside the browser for this static release. That makes it suitable for API payloads, sample responses, configuration drafts and quick debugging sessions.
The tree view helps compare objects, arrays, keys, values and nesting depth when a raw API response is too dense to scan comfortably.
This page is intentionally focused on one developer task, with fast loading, no external UI libraries and clear navigation to related tools.
Frequently asked
The static Formalint formatter processes JSON in the browser. The current version does not upload pasted JSON to a server.
Formalint parses JSON with the browser runtime and reports validation errors so developers can fix malformed input. The most common causes are trailing commas, single quotes instead of double quotes, and unescaped control characters.
Yes. Formalint can minify valid JSON and can also reformat minified JSON into readable indentation.
Yes. The tree view collapses nested objects and arrays so you can inspect a large API response or config file without scrolling through flat text.
No, this tool validates strict JSON per the JSON specification. Comments and trailing commas are treated as syntax errors, matching how most APIs and parsers behave in production.
