FAQ — answers Google & AI can cite

What is JSON Formatter?

JSON formatter parses RFC 8259 JSON and pretty-prints with indentation, validating syntax and showing parse errors with line context.

Is my API payload uploaded?

Formatting runs locally — safe for staging credentials if you still avoid pasting production secrets.

Trailing commas?

Strict JSON disallows trailing commas — remove them for US REST APIs expecting application/json.

Large file limits?

Very large payloads may slow the browser tab — split arrays for interactive editing.
