Frequently asked questions

What does Validate do?

It parses your JSON and reports whether it is valid, showing the exact error message and position if it is not.

What is the difference between Format and Minify?

Format pretty-prints JSON with indentation for readability; Minify strips all whitespace to produce the smallest possible string.

Is my JSON uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing and formatting happen locally in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
