About this app
Brace is a precision instrument for JSON. Pretty-print or minify, repair common syntax mistakes (trailing commas, unquoted keys, single quotes, comments), navigate large documents through a live structure outline, query with JSONPath, and validate against a JSON Schema — all without leaving the keyboard.
Key features
- Format and minify with 2-space, 4-space, or tab indent
- Repair broken JSON: trailing commas, unquoted keys, single quotes, comments
- Live structure outline with click-to-jump navigation
- JSONPath query bar — descend, recurse, index, wildcard
- JSON Schema validation against a Draft-07 subset
- Drag-and-drop a .json file to load
- Keyboard-first: format, minify, save, copy, focus query
Ratings & reviews
Brace is exactly what I was looking for. Lightweight, fast, and does the job without unnecessary bloat. Highly recommend.
Been using Brace daily for a few weeks now. The interface is clean and intuitive. Great addition to the BundlApps catalog.
Switched to Brace from a paid alternative and honestly prefer it. Runs locally, no account needed, just works.
