Does formatting change my JSON data?

No. Formatting only adds whitespace and line breaks for readability. All keys, values, and structure remain identical. The formatted and minified versions are semantically identical — any JSON parser treats them the same.

What is the difference between formatting and minifying JSON?

Formatting (beautifying) adds indentation and line breaks to make JSON human-readable. Minifying removes all unnecessary whitespace to reduce file size for transmission. JSONBlitz does both — use the Formatted tab for readable output or Copy as Minified for compact output.

Can it format JSON that is slightly broken?

Yes. JSONBlitz repairs common errors — trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys — and then formats the result. You get clean, readable JSON even if the input had syntax errors.

Is my JSON private when formatting?

Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your JSON is never transmitted to any server. Safe for API responses, credentials, and production data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes trailing commas in JSON?: Trailing commas are valid in JavaScript and many other languages, so developers naturally write them out of habit. Copying a JS object literal directly into a JSON context brings the trailing comma with it. JSON spec (RFC 8259) explicitly forbids them.
Where exactly does a trailing comma break JSON?: After the last item in an array or the last key-value pair in an object. [1, 2, 3,] and {"a":1,} are both invalid. JSONBlitz removes these automatically.
Can JSONBlitz fix trailing commas in nested objects?: Yes. The fix engine handles trailing commas at any depth — inside nested objects, nested arrays, and mixed structures. All are repaired in a single pass.
Does JSONBlitz fix other errors at the same time?: Yes. Single quotes, unquoted keys, JavaScript comments, and smart quotes are all fixed in the same pass as trailing commas.
