Frequently Asked Questions

Is my JSON uploaded to a server?

No. JSON Formatter parses and formats your JSON directly in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

What's the difference between Beautify and Minify?

Beautify adds line breaks and indentation to make JSON easy to read. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace to make the JSON as small as possible.

What happens if my JSON is invalid?

You'll see an error message with the line and column where the problem was found, so you can fix it quickly.

Can I choose the indentation size?

Yes. Choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces or a tab character before clicking Beautify.
