Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. It's widely used for API responses and configuration files.

Why format JSON?

Formatting JSON makes it more readable and easier to understand, especially when working with complex nested structures. It helps with debugging, editing, and documenting your data.

Is my data secure?

Yes, all processing happens in your browser. Your JSON data is never sent to our servers, ensuring complete privacy.

What's the difference between pretty and minify?

Pretty formatting adds indentation and line breaks to make JSON readable. Minifying removes all whitespace to make the JSON as compact as possible, which is useful for production environments to save bandwidth.
