What's the difference between format and minify?

Format adds whitespace and line breaks to make JSON human-readable with proper indentation. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace to create the smallest possible JSON string, useful for production or transmission.

When should I use the escape tool?

Use escape when embedding JSON as a string inside another JSON, or when you need to include special characters like quotes or newlines in a JSON string value. Unescape does the reverse conversion.

How does the visualizer work?

The visualizer parses your JSON into a tree structure. Each node shows its key, type, and value. You can expand/collapse objects and arrays, and right-click on keys or values to copy them to clipboard.

Can I handle large JSON files?

Yes, the toolkit can handle large JSON files. However, extremely large files (10MB+) may slow down the visualizer. The formatter and escape tools handle size better as they use streaming processing.

Is my JSON data secure?

Absolutely! All processing happens locally in your browser. Your JSON data is never sent to any server. This ensures complete privacy and security for sensitive data.
