Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the JSON validator work?
It parses the input string using the built-in JSON parser. If there is a syntax error (like a missing comma or quotation mark), it displays the exact error message and the position of the issue.
What is the difference between formatting and minifying?
Formatting adds indentation spaces and line breaks to make JSON highly readable to human developers. Minification strips all whitespaces and line breaks to compress the JSON, minimizing bandwidth use in network transfers.
Is my JSON data kept private?
Yes, completely! All processing is executed locally in your browser's memory. No JSON data is ever uploaded to a server.
