Frequently asked questions

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. Formatting and validation happen in your browser with JavaScript's built-in JSON parser, so private data never leaves your device.

What does 'minify' do?

It removes all whitespace and line breaks, producing the smallest valid JSON — useful for payloads and config values.

Why is my JSON invalid?

The most common causes are trailing commas, single quotes instead of double quotes, and unquoted keys. The error message points to the line and column.
