FAQ

What indent size is used?

Prettify uses 2-space indentation, which is the most common convention.

Does it support JSON5 or comments?

No — only standard JSON (RFC 8259) is supported. Comments and trailing commas will cause a validation error.

Is my JSON sent anywhere?

No. All processing is done locally in your browser.
