Common Questions (FAQ)

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based format for storing and transporting data. It is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Why do I need to format JSON?

APIs often return minified JSON to save bandwidth, which appears as a single long line of text. Formatting it restores the structure so you can debug and understand the data hierarchy.

Is my data secure?

Yes! All processing happens locally on your device using JavaScript. We do not see, store, or transmit your JSON data. This makes it safe even for sensitive configuration files.
