Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to process sensitive JSON files online?

Yes. Your JSON data is processed entirely within your browser. No data is ever sent to a cloud server, making it impossible for your information to be stored, sold, or leaked. It's as secure as opening a file in a local desktop application.

Can this tool flatten nested JSON data?

Yes. The engine is designed to flatten complex, nested JSON structures into clean, tabular formats. This allows you to view and convert API responses or document-based data into spreadsheet-ready layouts without writing custom code.

What is the difference between JSON, JSONL, and NDJSON?

Standard JSON is a single large object, whereas JSONL and NDJSON store each record on a new line. They're more efficient for large datasets because they can be processed as a stream. Our local engine can load even big files without crashing your browser.

Will processing large files slow down my other browser tabs?

No. We use Web Workers to run the data engine in a background thread. This ensures the main browser interface remains responsive and prevents the processing of large JSON files from lagging your other open tabs.

What technology powers this tool?

This local-first tool is powered by DuckDB-Wasm, a high-performance engine that runs natively in the browser via WebAssembly. This allows for complex SQL queries and data transformations at speeds comparable to native desktop software.

Is this utility suitable for enterprise-grade data?

Yes. The zero-server architecture ensures full data sovereignty for enterprise users. It meets high security standards because all processing is contained within your secure browser environment.
