FAQ

Common questions about JSON Prism

Is JSON Prism free to use?+

Yes. JSON Prism is completely free. There is no sign-up, no subscription, and no usage limit. All core tools - formatter, validator, diff viewer, converter, debugger, and more - are available immediately.

Does JSON Prism upload my JSON to a server?+

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your JSON never leaves your machine unless you explicitly use the optional share link feature, which encodes your JSON in the URL fragment (never sent to a server) or stores it in Cloudflare KV for 30 days when you create a short link.

What JSON tools are included?+

JSON Prism includes a formatter, validator, diff viewer, tree view, visual editor, flow view, converter (JSON ↔ CSV, XML, YAML), debugger, trimmer, token estimator, mock generator, AI JSON cleaner, structure analyzer, best practices checker, share links, notes, bundle viewer, and a learn-JSON mode.

Can I use JSON Prism offline?+

Yes. JSON Prism is a Progressive Web App (PWA). After your first visit, the core workspace works offline. Install it from your browser's address bar to get a standalone app experience without any installation from an app store.

What is the difference between JSON formatting and JSON validation?+

Formatting (beautifying) makes JSON readable by adding consistent indentation and line breaks - it does not change the data. Validation checks whether the JSON syntax is correct. JSON Prism runs both automatically and shows inline errors when your JSON is invalid.

How do I compare two JSON files?+

Open the JSON Diff tool from the left sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut. Paste the first JSON in the left panel and the second in the right panel. Differences are highlighted immediately - structural diffs, not line-by-line text diffs, so reformatting does not show as a change.

Privacy by design

Every operation runs locally in your browser. No JSON is uploaded or stored by default. Short links are strictly opt-in and expire after 30 days.
