Technical Security Whitepaper
Executive Summary
FormatJSONOnline adopts a privacy-first architecture where the vast majority of operations occur client-side (in your browser). For operations that require server processing (AI features), we implement strict data handling policies including zero retention, encryption-in-transit, and no use of data for model training.
1. Architecture Overview
Client-Side Processing
The following operations execute entirely within your browser using Web Workers and Service Workers:
- ✓ JSON Formatting & Beautification
- ✓ JSON Validation & Syntax Checking
- ✓ JSON Minification
- ✓ JSON to/from CSV, XML, YAML conversion
- ✓ JSON Merge, Flatten, Filter operations
- ✓ JSON to TypeScript/Python/Go type generation
- ✓ Diff/Compare operations
- ✓ Size calculations & analysis
- ✓ Escape/Unescape operations
- ✓ Path finder & JSONPath queries
Data Security Guarantee: Your JSON never leaves your device. All processing occurs in your browser's memory with no network transmission.
Server-Side Processing (AI Features)
The following features require server-side processing:
- ✓ AI JSON Generator (creates mock JSON based on schema)
- ✓ AI Error Fixer (suggests fixes for invalid JSON)
- ✓ JSON Translator (translates between languages)
- ✓ Schema Generation (infers schema from JSON)
Data Handling: When you use these features, your JSON and prompts are transmitted via encrypted HTTPS to our backend. We use third-party AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) with enterprise agreements that prohibit data retention and model training.

3. AI Safety & Guardrails
⚠️ Important Disclaimers
- No Guarantee of Accuracy: AI-generated JSON, fixes, and schemas are not guaranteed to be correct. Always review output before using in production.
- User Responsibility: You are responsible for validating all AI-generated content. FormatJSONOnline assumes no liability for errors or security issues in AI output.
- No Training Usage: Your inputs are never used to train or improve AI models. We have contractual guarantees from all API providers.
- Rate Limits: AI features are rate-limited to prevent abuse. Excessive usage may result in temporary restrictions.
