FAQ
What usually causes an "invalid JSON" error?
Most often a missing or extra comma, single quotes instead of double quotes, unquoted keys, or a trailing comma at the end of an object or array.
Does formatting change my data?
No. Only whitespace and indentation change — keys, values and their order are preserved.
Is pasted data safe?
Yes. Parsing uses the browser's built-in JSON parser locally and nothing leaves your device.
