FAQ

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. Parsing and formatting happen entirely in your browser.

What if JSON is invalid?

The validator and format actions show parse errors with messages to help you fix syntax.

Can I format large files?

Very large payloads may slow the tab. For huge files, use a desktop editor.

Does it support JSON5 or comments?

Standard JSON only—comments and trailing commas are not accepted.
