FAQ
Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server.
Format beautifies your JSON (assuming it's valid), while Validate checks whether the JSON syntax is correct and shows you exactly where errors are.
Yes, but performance may decrease for files larger than 1MB. There is no hard size limit.
Common causes include trailing commas, single quotes instead of double quotes, unquoted keys, or missing brackets. The error message will indicate the line and position of the issue.
No. This tool strictly follows the JSON specification (RFC 8259). Comments and trailing commas are not supported.
