Frequently asked questions

How does JSONSkills process JSON?

JSONSkills is designed to process JSON content in your browser. Basic usage analytics are collected separately through Umami Cloud, but JSON content should not be included in analytics events.

What makes JSON invalid?

Common syntax issues include missing commas, unmatched braces or brackets, unquoted property names, trailing commas and invalid strings. The validator reports parser findings; it does not assess every potential data issue.

Can I format large JSON files?

Performance depends on the browser, device and file size. Very large documents may respond slowly or exceed the editor's current file-size limit.

What is the difference between formatting and minifying JSON?

Formatting adds readable indentation. Minifying removes unnecessary whitespace. For valid JSON, the data structure should remain equivalent.
