FAQ

Q:Is it safe to paste API keys or tokens into this tool?

Yes. Our JSON formatter runs entirely in your browser using native JSON.parse(). No data is sent to any server, making it safe for sensitive development payloads.

Q:What are the most common JSON syntax errors?

The most common mistakes are: using single quotes instead of double quotes, trailing commas after the last array/object item, and unescaped special characters inside strings.
