03

Convert

06

Schema gen

Derive a draft-07 JSON Schema or TypeScript interface directly from your data.

07

Diff

Side-by-side compare mode shows exactly what added, removed, or changed — by path.

Offline

Every operation runs in the browser. No network required. Works on a plane.

Workflow

Four steps from messy to clean.

Step 1

Paste or drop

Drop any .json, .yaml, .yml, or .jsonc file — or paste raw text. Format is auto-detected.

Step 2

Inspect instantly

Errors surface immediately with line numbers. Clean data formats as you type.

Step 3

Transform

Format, convert, minify, schema-gen, or TypeScript — all in the command palette.

Step 4

Export

Copy to clipboard or download as .json, .yaml, or .txt. No account needed.

Privacy

We do not store your data.

Local processing

Parsing, formatting, conversion — all native JS in your tab.

FileReader API reads into memory. Nothing is transmitted.

No analytics

No tracking scripts, no pixels, no fingerprinting.

Session-only

Close the tab and the data is gone. Nothing persists.
