Square Bracket Counter
Why do square brackets always seem to misbehave when you're editing code, writing JSON, or crafting markdown? One missing "[" or "]" can throw everything off, and hunting for the culprit feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. That’s where the Square Bracket Counter comes in—your new best friend for instantly counting and validating square brackets. Whether you're a coder, a writer, or just someone who loves clean formatting, this tool ensures your brackets are perfectly balanced. No more stress, no more errors—just smooth, bracket-free bliss. Give it a try and see how it simplifies your workflow!
Count and validate square brackets in your text.
Total Opening Brackets: 0
Total Closing Brackets: 0
Brackets are balanced.
The Square Bracket Counter works like a diligent editor, scanning your text for every "[" and "]". It counts the number of opening and closing brackets and checks if they’re balanced. Here’s the simple formula it follows:
- Step 1: Count all "[" (opening brackets).
- Step 2: Count all "]" (closing brackets).
- Step 3: Compare the two counts—if they match, your brackets are balanced; if not, you’ve got some fixing to do!
| Input Text | Opening Brackets | Closing Brackets | Result |
|---|---|---|---|

| [This [is [a test]] | 3 | 2 | Not Balanced |
