Questions

Is my JSON sent anywhere?

No. Formatting and validation happen in your browser, so your data stays on your device.

How do I find an error in my JSON?

Click Validate or Format. If the JSON is invalid, the message shows what went wrong and, where possible, the line and column.

What does minify do?

It removes all spaces and line breaks to make the JSON as small as possible, which is useful for sending data or saving space.

Why are my keys in a different order?

Only the Sort keys option changes the order. Without it, keys stay exactly as you wrote them.
