Important
Check the result before relying on it
Review generated output before using it in production. Formatters and converters can validate structure, but they cannot understand every application-specific rule or guarantee that transformed content has the intended meaning.
Practical details
What this Lucaden tool does
The formatter parses the complete document before creating output, so invalid JSON never masquerades as a successful result. You can choose readable indentation, recursively sort object keys, or minify data for transport.
Lucaden performs this task in the browser so the source stays under your control. The result is created only after you request it, and nothing is saved to a Lucaden account by this tool.

Questions
About this tool
Does this support comments?
No. Standard JSON does not allow comments, trailing commas, or unquoted keys, and the validator reports them as errors.
Will sorting change array order?
No. Sorting applies only to object keys; array values remain in their original order.
Open-source foundations
