Frequently Asked Questions
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format used for storing and exchanging data. It's easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.
Formatting makes the JSON human-readable with spacing and indentation. Minifying removes all unnecessary spaces to make it as compact as possible — great for saving space or sending over the web.
No. Standard JSON does not allow comments or trailing commas. If you're using JSON5 or similar, the tool may mark it as invalid. JSON5 is not part of the official JSON specification, so standard JSON parsers (like JSON.parse() in JavaScript) will reject it.
