Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to process sensitive NDJSON files online?

Yes. Your NDJSON 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.

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.

Why is this NDJSON tool faster than other online converters?

Traditional tools require you to upload your NDJSON file to a remote server, wait for processing, and then download the result. Tabularly uses DuckDB-Wasm to process data locally in your browser. This eliminates network latency and server wait times, resulting in instant processing for even large datasets.

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 NDJSON files from lagging your other open tabs.

Which web browsers are supported?

We support all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. For processing exceptionally large files, we recommend Chromium-based browsers like Chrome or Edge due to their efficient memory management for WebAssembly applications.

Is there a cost to use this data tool?

No, this tool is completely free. There are no hidden fees, no credit card requirements, and no data harvesting. We provide these utilities to demonstrate the performance and privacy benefits of Tabularly's data workspace.
