JSON Validator vs JSON Formatter vs JSON Editor

A JSON Validator checks whether JSON syntax is correct. A JSON Formatter reorganizes valid JSON with proper indentation to improve readability, while a JSON Editor allows you to create and modify JSON documents. These tools are often used together during development and debugging.
