Frequently asked questions
Does my JSON leave my device?
No. Your JSON never leaves the device. Parsing, formatting and saving happen locally in your browser, with nothing sent to API Tool Calls.
How are errors located?
The tool checks the JSON grammar, reports the first error’s line and column, and moves the input caret there.
Can I format a large file or sort keys?
Inputs over 5 MB show a warning and still work, although large files can slow the browser. Sort keys orders every object’s keys alphabetically; arrays keep their order. Number text is preserved exactly, including very large integers and exponents.
