Frequently asked questions
- Does this JSON formatter send data to a server?
- No. Parsing and formatting happen entirely in your browser. Your JSON never leaves your device.
- Can this tool fix invalid JSON?
- It validates and reports errors but does not auto-repair malformed input. Fix syntax issues and format again.
- What is the difference between prettify and minify?
- Prettify adds indentation and line breaks for readability. Minify removes whitespace to produce the smallest valid JSON string.
- Is there a file size limit?
- Very large payloads may slow the browser tab. Typical API responses and config files format instantly.
