Why format JSON?
Raw JSON from APIs is often minified — everything on one line. Beautifying adds consistent indentation so the structure is immediately clear and mistakes become obvious at a glance.
Private by design
All formatting and validation happens inside your browser. Your JSON is never sent to a server, which makes this safe for internal API payloads and config files that may contain sensitive keys.
