Knowledge Base

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a standard format for storing and exchanging structured data. However, sometimes a plain text representation is preferred — for easy reading, explaining, or verbal communication.

This tool flattens the JSON structure into a hierarchical readable text, preserving keys and values with indentation to reflect nesting. It is helpful for notes, documentation, or sharing JSON content without JSON syntax noise.
