Free, private developer tools that run in your browser

JSON Dev Tools is a collection of 40+ utilities for working with JSON and the formats and workflows around it — formatting, validating, minifying, converting to and from CSV, YAML, XML, and TypeScript, generating schemas and mock data, decoding JWTs, hashing text, and more. Every tool is free, requires no signup, and is built to do one job well and fast.

Your data never leaves your browser

These tools are designed privacy-first. When you paste JSON, a token, a log line, or any other input, all of the processing happens locally in your browser using standard JavaScript APIs like JSON.parse() and the Web Crypto API. Nothing you paste is uploaded to a server, logged, or stored — which means the tools also keep working offline once the page has loaded, and it's safe to work with internal API responses, access tokens, and configuration files you couldn't paste into a typical online service. The one place we're explicit about any exception is inside each tool, and the standing rule across the site is that your data stays on your machine.

Built for real developer workflows

The site grew out of everyday development needs: pretty-printing an ugly API response, checking whether a payload is valid before a request, converting a JSON export into a CSV for a spreadsheet, turning a sample response into TypeScript interfaces, or figuring out exactly which line of a config file broke a parser. Alongside the tools there's a large reference library — over 100 troubleshooting pages for specific error messages across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Docker, and more, plus in-depth guides on JSON syntax, schemas, and conversions — so when a tool surfaces an error, there's usually a page explaining exactly how to fix it.

Who builds this

JSON Dev Tools is built and maintained by Pasindu Ishan, a developer who uses these utilities daily. It's an independent project, not a venture-backed product — which is why the tools stay simple, fast, and free of accounts, paywalls, and dark patterns. You can read more on the About page or get in touch through the Contact page with bug reports, tool ideas, or corrections.
