Frequently asked questions

Why does my JSON show an error?
JSON syntax errors - missing commas, trailing commas, unquoted keys, or single quotes - are invalid. The error message indicates the position.
What's the difference between format and minify?
Format adds indentation and line breaks for readability. Minify removes all whitespace for smallest file size.
Can I convert between tabs and spaces?
Yes - set indent to 0 for tabs, or 2/4 for spaces.
