FAQ
Can it handle large JSON files?
Processing happens in browser memory, so files up to a few megabytes work smoothly. Extremely large files may slow down.
Is my data stored anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser and disappears when you reload the page.
What happens if my JSON is invalid?
An error message is shown. Check for missing commas or quotes based on the message.
