Frequently asked questions

Is JSON formatting done locally?

Yes. SwITss Knife parses and formats your JSON in the browser, so the data stays on your device.

Can I use this to find JSON errors?

Yes. Invalid JSON is flagged during parsing, which makes broken commas, braces, and quotes much easier to spot.

Do I need to upload my data?

No. The tool runs client-side in your browser and never sends your payload to a server.
