Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our developer tools
-
help_outline What is JSON?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, human-readable data interchange format. It uses key-value pairs and arrays to represent structured data, and is widely used in APIs, configuration files, and web applications.
-
help_outline Is my data safe when using these tools?
Yes, completely. All tools process data locally in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to our servers. Your JSON, XML, CSV, or any other data never leaves your computer.
-
help_outline Do I need to create an account to use the tools?
No. All tools are completely free and require no registration or account. Just visit the tool page and start using it immediately.
-
help_outline What is the difference between JSON format and JSON validate?
JSON Format (Beautify) adds whitespace and indentation to make JSON human-readable. JSON Validate checks whether the JSON syntax is correct — it tells you if the JSON is valid or shows you exactly where the error is.
-
help_outline Can I upload files to the tools?
Yes. Most tools support file upload via drag & drop or the file upload button. You can upload .json, .xml, .csv, .yaml files. File processing happens locally in your browser.
-
help_outline What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data into an ASCII string. It is commonly used to encode binary data for transmission in text-based formats like email, JSON, or XML.
-
help_outline What is URL encoding?
URL encoding (percent-encoding) converts special characters into a format that can be safely transmitted in URLs. For example, spaces become %20 and & becomes %26.
-
help_outline Can I use these tools offline?
The tools require an internet connection to load initially. Once loaded, many tools will work even if the connection is lost, since all processing is done in JavaScript. We plan to add PWA (offline) support in a future update.
-
help_outline How do I report a bug or request a feature?
Please use the contact form on our About page or email us directly. We actively monitor feedback and aim to respond within 24 hours.
-
help_outline Are the tools free for commercial use?
Yes. All tools on this website are free to use for both personal and commercial purposes with no restrictions.
