Question 1

Is my JSON sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript's built-in JSON parser — your data never leaves your device.

Question 2

What's the difference between format and minify?

Accepted Answer

Format (pretty-print) adds indentation and line breaks for readability. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace to produce the smallest possible output, useful for production payloads. StatFlare's Format vs Minify tab shows both side by side with a live byte-size savings comparison.

Question 3

What is the JSON Tree view and what is JSONPath copy?

Accepted Answer

The JSON Tree tab renders your data as a collapsible, color-coded tree instead of flat text. Hovering any key or value reveals a button to copy its JSONPath (e.g. $.tools[0]), and a built-in search box highlights matching keys/values and auto-expands the branches that contain them.
