FAQ
What is JSON?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text format for data exchange. It is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. It is widely used in web APIs and configuration files.
What is the difference between Format and Minify?
Format (beautify) adds indentation and line breaks for readability. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace to reduce the data size.
Is my data sent to a server?
No, all processing happens entirely in your browser. Your JSON data is never transmitted anywhere, so you can use this tool with confidence.
