Is my data safe? Does it get sent to a server?
Completely safe. This tool runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device and is never sent to any server. It is ideal for formatting sensitive API responses, config files, or private JSON data.
What is the difference between Format and Minify?
Format (Beautify) adds indentation and line breaks to make data human-readable. Minify does the opposite — it removes all whitespace to produce the smallest possible string, which is useful for APIs and production configs.
Can it detect errors in my JSON or XML?
Yes. If your input contains syntax errors, the tool will highlight the error in red and show the exact error message and position so you can fix it quickly.
What JSON and XML features are supported?
For JSON: objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, null, and nested structures. For XML: elements, attributes, text nodes, CDATA, and comments. Both support arbitrarily deep nesting.
Is there a size limit for input data?
There is no hard limit — the tool handles files up to several MB without issues. For very large payloads (10MB+), performance depends on your browser and device.
