What is the difference between Beautify and Minify?

Beautify adds clean indentation and line breaks for human readability, while Minify strips all unnecessary whitespace to reduce payload size.

How does the validator help fix broken JSON?

When syntax is invalid (such as a trailing comma or unquoted key), the validator pinpoints the exact error message and character position.
