FAQs
What does "minify" mean?
Minifying strips all unnecessary whitespace from JSON, making it as compact as possible — useful for sending data over the network or storing it.
My JSON has trailing commas — will it work?
No, and that's on purpose: trailing commas are not valid JSON. The validator will tell you exactly where the problem is so you can fix it.
Is my data sent to a server?
Never. Parsing and formatting happen locally in your browser, so even sensitive payloads stay on your machine.
