Questions & Answers

How do I open a JSON file online?

Just drag your .json file directly into the editor area or paste its content. The tool loads and displays the structure instantly, with no need to install any software.

Is my JSON data saved on the server?

No. The processing happens strictly inside your browser window. We do not transmit or store your JSON objects on our servers, ensuring total privacy.

Can I copy individual parts of the JSON?

Yes. By interacting directly with the generated JSON tree, you can copy specific nodes, arrays, or sub-objects without parsing the entire raw text.

Does the viewer indicate JSON errors?

Yes. If your JSON payload is malformed (missing quotes, trailing commas, etc.), the tool will display a direct red syntax error flag preventing the tree render.

How do I find a specific key or value in a JSON?

Use the search field above the viewer or JSON tree: type the term you're looking for and the tool highlights every occurrence, in both keys and values, shows how many results were found, and lets you navigate between them with the previous/next buttons, without having to manually expand each node.
