Frequently asked questions

How do I format JSON?

Paste your JSON into the editor and click Format (or press Ctrl/Cmd+Enter). It is reindented with 2-space indentation and syntax highlighting. You can switch to 4 spaces or tabs and sort keys from the toolbar.

Can it fix invalid JSON?

Yes. The built-in auto-fix corrects common mistakes — trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys, and missing commas — and tells you what it changed.

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. All formatting and validation happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so it is safe for sensitive or proprietary data.
