Questions about JSON Formatter
What happens if my JSON has an error?
The tool shows the specific error message, for example an extra comma or a missing quote, so you can locate and fix the problem.
What's the difference between formatting and minifying?
Formatting adds indentation and line breaks so the JSON is easy to read; minifying removes all unnecessary whitespace so the file is smaller.
Is my data sent to a server?
No, the JSON is processed entirely in your browser.
Can I use it to validate whether a JSON is correct before using it in my code?
Yes, if the JSON can't be formatted it's because it has a syntax error; if it formats without errors, it's valid JSON.
