Frequently Asked Questions
Is my confidential API payload or credential data secure?
Yes, 100%. Parsing and formatting execute strictly inside your local browser JavaScript engine. No JSON strings or API responses are ever logged, cached, or transmitted across the internet.
Does the formatter support large JSON payloads (e.g. 10MB+)?
Yes! The virtualized code editor renders and formats multi-megabyte JSON payloads smoothly without freezing your browser tab.
Can I switch between 2-space, 4-space, and tab indentation?
Yes. You can customize indentation spacing to 2 spaces, 4 spaces, tabs, or compact minification with one click.
