JSON Key Sorter
Sort JSON object keys alphabetically, by length, or in reverse — with recursive nested object support
Features
- Recursively sort JSON keys alphabetically (or only top-level if recursion is off)
- Toggleable recursive mode
- Pretty-printed output with 2-space indent
- Stats: total keys, depth
- Runs entirely in your browser
How to use
- Klistra in JSON i inmatningsfältet.
- Välj sorteringsordning och alternativ.
- Klicka på Sortera nycklar.
- Kopiera det sorterade resultatet.
Tips & Best Practices
- Sorted JSON gives stable diffs — useful for committing JSON config files where the original order is arbitrary.
- Arrays are left in their original order (JSON arrays are sequences, not sets — order is semantic).
- For deterministic JSON output across languages, JSON Canonical Form (RFC 8785) goes further than alpha-sorting; use a library for that.
- For very large JSON, the parse+stringify round-trip is fine but memory-bound — files >100 MB may stress the browser.
- Mixed-type arrays (objects + primitives) sort the object members internally; the array itself stays in order.
FAQ
Varför sortera JSON-nycklar?
Att sortera nycklar gör JSON lättare att jämföra, granska i pull requests och upprätthålla konsekvens i konfigurationsfiler.
Ändras värdena?
Nej, bara ordningen på nycklarna ändras. Alla värden, arrayer och datatyper förblir oförändrade.
