Frequently Asked Questions
Can I format confidential API responses or secrets? ▼
Yes, 100%. Formatting occurs entirely in your browser memory via native JavaScript. No data is logged, transmitted, or stored on external servers.
How does the linter report syntax errors? ▼
When invalid JSON is detected (e.g. missing comma, trailing comma, unquoted key), the linter catches the parser exception and displays the exact issue.
Can I copy the minified JSON directly to my clipboard? ▼
Yes, one click on "Copy Output" copies the formatted or minified code directly.
