Frequently Asked Questions
Does formatting change my JSON data?
No. Formatting only changes whitespace and indentation, not the keys, values, or structure.
Can I choose different indentation sizes?
Yes. You can switch between several indentation sizes before formatting the JSON output.
Is this JSON formatter private?
Yes. The formatting runs locally in your browser, so your JSON is not sent to our servers.
What happens if the JSON is invalid?
The tool shows that the JSON is invalid and reports the error location when the browser provides it.
