Questions

JSON Formatter Online Free FAQ

Does this send JSON to a server?

No. The current formatter runs in your browser.

What should come next?

Tree view, JSON diff, schema validation, and JSON-to-CSV are the highest-priority upgrades.

Why does my JSON show an error?

The validator points to the first character it cannot parse. The most common culprits are trailing commas, single quotes around strings, unquoted keys, and unescaped line breaks inside string values.

What's the difference between format and minify?

Format pretty-prints the JSON with indentation so it's readable in code review and bug reports. Minify strips whitespace so the payload is as small as possible — useful for embedding in URLs, logs, and config files.

Will this tool stay free?

The basic workflow is designed to stay free. Paid upgrades later will focus on bigger limits, batch work, OCR, saved presets, and ad-free use.
