Visual Tree Editing

Undo / Redo History

Every change is recorded. Press Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Y to redo. Experiment freely without fear of breaking your data.

Auto-Repair Invalid JSON

Pasted JSON with trailing commas, single quotes, or comments? One click repairs common mistakes so you can start editing immediately.

Three View Modes

Switch anytime between Text (Monaco), Tree (interactive editing), and Preview (read-only syntax-highlighted) — one editor, three ways to work.

Type Switching

Convert any value between string, number, boolean, null, object, and array with one click. Perfect for quickly reshaping test data or configs.

100% Private — No Uploads

All editing happens in your browser. Your JSON never touches a server — safe for API keys, tokens, and sensitive configurations.

Visual JSON Editor for Developers

JSON Editor is a browser-based JSON editor with three view modes: Text for raw editing with Monaco Editor, Tree for visual structure editing, and Preview for read-only syntax-highlighted display.

In Tree mode, double-click a key or value to edit it in place. Right-click any node for the full context menu: insert before or after, duplicate, change type, delete, copy path. Undo and redo are available at every step. When you paste invalid JSON, one click repairs common mistakes like trailing commas, single quotes, and JavaScript comments.

Common Use Cases

  • Config File Editing: Safely modify package.json, tsconfig.json, or Kubernetes manifests without syntax errors
  • Test Data Crafting: Quickly build fixtures by duplicating nodes, changing types, and renaming keys
  • API Response Debugging: Paste a response, restructure it, and diff against the expected shape
  • Schema Migration: Compare two versions of a JSON document to see exactly what changed
  • Fixing Broken JSON: Use Auto Repair to recover from trailing commas, stray quotes, or mixed delimiters
  • Data Cleanup: Delete unwanted fields in bulk with right-click + Delete, then export the cleaned data

Privacy-First JSON Editing

Every edit, repair, and diff runs entirely in your browser. Your JSON is never uploaded or logged anywhere.

  • Data never leaves your device — zero network requests during editing
  • Safe for sensitive API keys, tokens, and configuration secrets
  • Works completely offline after the page loads

FAQ

A formatter only re-indents and validates text. This editor lets you modify the structure itself — add, delete, rename, and retype nodes visually without writing a single character of JSON syntax. It's ideal for editing config files, crafting test data, or fixing API responses.
Absolutely. All editing, parsing, repair, and diff computation happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device — no server uploads, no logging, no third-party access. Safe for API keys, tokens, and sensitive configuration data.
Auto Repair uses the jsonrepair library to fix common mistakes: trailing commas, single quotes instead of double quotes, missing quotes around keys, JavaScript-style comments, smart/curly quotes, concatenated strings, and more. It's based on the same repair engine used by many popular JSON tools.
Yes. Use the view switcher at the top to change between Text (Monaco editor), Tree (interactive structure editor), and Preview (read-only syntax-highlighted) modes. Any change in one mode is immediately reflected when you switch to another — as long as your JSON is valid.
Yes. Once the page loads, everything works offline — editing, auto-repair, diff comparison, and export. Install PrivaDeck as a PWA from your browser for quickest access.
