Frequently asked questions

What's the difference from a JSON array?+

An array holds all records inside brackets; JSONL writes each record on its own line with no surrounding array, so tools can read and append one record at a time.

Does the input have to be an array?+

Yes β€” the top-level value must be a JSON array; each element becomes one line of output.

Is it free to use?+

Yes β€” it is completely free with no sign-up, no account and no usage limits. There is no watermark and no paywall, so you can process as many files as you like.

Is my data private and secure?+

Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript β€” your data is never uploaded to a server, stored or logged. Once the page has loaded you can even use it offline, which makes it safe for confidential or proprietary files.
