How to use

  1. Paste valid JSON into the input box
  2. Click Run Tool to split the structure
  3. Review the separated output blocks
  4. Copy the parts you need for testing or analysis
  5. Use the result together with merge or formatting tools if needed

Examples

Example

Input

[{"id":1},{"id":2}]

Output

Part 1:
{
  "id": 1
}

---

Part 2:
{
  "id": 2
}

Useful when you want to inspect each array item separately.

Example

Output

Key: user
{
  "name": "Anna"
}

---

Key: settings
{
  "theme": "dark"
}

Helpful when reviewing top-level sections one by one.

Common errors

The JSON input is invalid

Fix: Validate or format the JSON first before splitting it.

The user expects deep recursive splitting automatically

Fix: This tool splits the top-level structure first, such as a top-level array or top-level object keys.

The user expects the result to stay as one JSON object

Fix: This tool is for inspection and separation, not for keeping one single JSON result.
