Frequently asked questions

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. Formatting runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

What if my JSON has errors?

The tool reports the error message and the line/column where it failed, so you can fix it.

Does it support large files?

Yes — JSON files up to several MB format instantly. Truly massive payloads (10+ MB) may slow down your browser.

Why does my JSON say 'Unexpected token'?

JSON has stricter rules than JavaScript: keys must be double-quoted, no trailing commas, no comments. The error message tells you the exact line and column where the parser stopped.

Will it sort the keys alphabetically?

No — keys keep their original order. JSON spec says objects are unordered, but most parsers preserve insertion order, so the formatted output matches what you input.
