Worth knowing

Formatting does not change the data.

Pretty-printing only changes whitespace and optional key order. Arrays stay in the same order, values stay the same, and minifying simply removes unnecessary spaces and line breaks.

Before you use it

A parser error is the useful part.

If the JSON is broken, do not guess around it. The result panel shows the browser parser's error so you can fix the missing quote, comma or bracket before copying anything onward.

The annoying bit

The data is in there. It is just all on one horrible line.

You should not have to visually count braces in a wall of JSON just to find the thing you need.
