Developer Tools — frequently asked
Are these tools safe for internal code?
Yes — everything runs client-side. Formatters and decoders never see the network. That said, treat any browser tab as trusted-only for extremely sensitive secrets.
Do you support large JSON files?
JSON up to a few megabytes formats instantly. Beyond that the browser's structured clone gets slow — split the file if you can.
