Frequently asked about JSON Formatter

Does my JSON get uploaded?
No. JSON Formatter runs entirely in your browser using the native JSON.parse. Your data never leaves the page.
What's the size limit?
Practical limit is your browser's memory — usually 50+ MB of JSON works fine. For massive files use jq from the command line.
