Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does "pretty-print" a JSON mean?
Pretty-printing a JSON means adding indentation and line breaks so that it becomes readable for humans. This does not change the data, only the way it is presented, making it easier to visualize the structure of objects and arrays.
Does this tool store my JSON data?
No. All processing is done in your browser (client-side). Your data is not sent or stored on our servers, ensuring total privacy.
What is the tree view?
The tree view is an interactive way to navigate through your JSON. It allows you to expand and collapse different parts (nodes) of the data structure, which is especially useful for analyzing large and complex JSON files without getting lost in the code.
