# Using JSON with docker compose
Turns out you can use JSON with docker compose! It's a bit lengthier than YAML, but you don't have to deal with weird whitespace issues wasting half an hour of your time. Here's an example of a docker compose file in JSON:
```json
{
"version": "3.8",
"services": {
"nginx": {
"image": "nginx:alpine",
"ports": [
"8080:80"
],
"volumes": [
"./html:/usr/share/nginx/html"
]
}
}
}
```
To use it, just run `docker-compose -f docker-compose.json up` instead of `docker-compose up`. Or you can just write the JSON in `docker-compose.yaml` like a madman. It'll work, though if you do that, you're definitely a psychopath /s
P.S. If you want a GUI for it, then I'd recommend using [aleiepure/devtoolbox](https://github.com/aleiepure/devtoolbox) to convert JSON to YAML and vice-versa. It's also got a JSON formatter and a *ton* of other tools, so I'd definitely recommend installing it anyways.
