JSON Tools FAQ

A: Yes, ToolArc's JSON tools are completely free, with no usage limits. You can use all advanced features (including minification, formatting, CSV conversion) without registration.

Q: Is my data safe? Is it uploaded?

A: Absolutely safe. This is a client-side tool. All data processing (parsing, formatting, validation) happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. We do not have any backend servers to receive or store your data.

Q: Why do I get "Invalid JSON" error?

A: This usually means your JSON syntax is incorrect. Common reasons include:

  • Using single quotes ' for properties or strings (JSON standard requires double quotes ").
  • Trailing comma after the last element.
  • Unescaped special characters.

Q: What is the maximum file size supported?

A: It depends on your browser's memory limit. Generally, 10MB to 50MB text files are handled smoothly. For files larger than 100MB, the browser might lag.

A: Yes. After formatting, you can use the "Export CSV" feature. For more advanced conversions (like XML, YAML), please use our Data Transformer.
