JSON Formatter FAQ

What is the difference between formatting and minifying JSON?

Formatting adds whitespace and indentation for readability, while minifying removes unnecessary whitespace for compact output.

Will the formatter tell me when JSON is invalid?

Yes. The workspace shows parse feedback with line and column context when the input cannot be parsed.
