JSON Search Online: what it does
Looking for one field in a huge API response? Paste or upload your JSON and type a search term. The JSON search tool lists every matching key and every matching value, shows the full path to each match, and highlights it in the source when you click a result.
Narrow the results with the key and value filters, copy a path in one click, and keep the document in your browser: the search runs locally, so nothing is uploaded.
What the JSON search tool can do
- Search keys and values at the same time, case-insensitively
- Refine results with a key filter and a value filter
- See the full JSON path of every match
- Click a result to highlight it in the input
- Copy a path to the clipboard
- Works with JSON and XML payloads
- File upload and saved favorites
- Browser-based: your data stays on your device

How do I search for a key or value in JSON?
Paste your JSON, then type the key or value into the search box. Matching keys and values are listed with their full paths, and clicking one highlights it in the source.
Can I get the JSON path of a match?
Yes. Every result shows its path, and you can copy it to the clipboard.
Can I search XML as well as JSON?
Yes. XML payloads are supported and searched the same way.
Is the search done on a server?
No. Searching happens in your browser, so your data is never uploaded.
