Local Code Format is designed around browser-side processing and minimal data handling.

Core principle

For the current tool set, formatting, validation, and comparison actions are intended to run in your browser. The site is designed so pasted code or data does not need to be uploaded to a remote processing service to complete those tasks.

That matters most on pages like the JSON Formatter, JSON Validator, and Diff Checker, where developers often paste internal payloads and debugging output.

What we do not intend to collect

  • No account creation is required.
  • No code submission workflow is designed to send your pasted content to an application server for formatting.
  • No promise is made that browser vendors, extensions, or your own environment will not log activity outside this site.

Operational data

Like most websites, basic infrastructure logs, analytics, and hosting-level request data may exist. These are separate from the tool content you paste into the formatter interface.

If you want a workflow explanation before using the tools, read How to Format JSON Safely for practical handling advice.

How to use sensitive data safely

If you are handling production tokens, secrets, customer payloads, or regulated data, remove sensitive fields before pasting where possible and verify your browser environment is trustworthy. Local processing reduces risk, but your surrounding environment still matters.

You can also compare formatter and validator workflows in JSON Formatter vs Validator to decide the safest next step when a payload fails.
