Frequently Asked Questions

What JSON features does the formatter support?

All standard JSON: objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null values. Nested structures of any depth are handled.

Does it validate JSON?

Yes. If your JSON has a syntax error (missing comma, unclosed bracket), the formatter highlights the error with the line number.

Can I format very large JSON files?

Yes. The formatter handles large JSON payloads. For extremely large files (10MB+), use the minify option first to reduce size.

Does my JSON get sent to a server?

No. JSON formatting runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device.
