Webhook Payload Formatter pretty-prints JSON bodies from webhook deliveries so nested event fields stop hiding inside a single escaped line in your logs.
Paste the payload, run the format action, then copy the readable JSON into a ticket or test fixture. Invalid JSON surfaces as a parse problem instead of silent pass-through.
Built for Stripe, GitHub, Shopify-style JSON events and any HTTP callback that speaks JSON. Failed delivery dashboards often show escaped one-liners; formatting restores object structure so you can see which nested field actually changed.

Features
- Webhook-focused framing over a generic JSON lab
- Pretty-print nested event objects

Tips and limits
- Strip authorization headers from logs before sharing payloads.
- Some providers wrap JSON as strings; unwrap before formatting.
- Signature verification still belongs in your server, not in this formatter.
- Huge batch webhooks may need file-based tooling.
- Save formatted payloads as golden fixtures, then mutate one field at a time when writing handler tests.

FAQ
Does this verify webhook signatures?
No. It formats JSON bodies. Keep HMAC or asymmetric verification in your application.
Where is the payload processed?
In your browser. Still redact personal data before pasting on shared devices.
Can it format XML webhooks?
This tool expects JSON. Convert XML elsewhere first if needed.
Why does paste fail?
The body may be truncated or double-encoded as a string. Restore valid JSON first.
Is minify available?
Use the JSON Formatter module when you need compact output after debugging.
