Frequently asked questions

What happens if my JSON is invalid?

You'll see a clear message with the exact line and position of the problem, so you can fix it fast.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Parsing and formatting run entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted.

Can it handle large JSON files?

Yes, within your browser's memory. Very large files may take a moment to render.
