No. The JSON Formatter runs 100% inside your Web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device.

What is the difference between JSON formatting and minification?

Formatting adds whitespace, indentation, and newlines to make JSON human-readable. Minification removes all unnecessary whitespace to compress the payload size.
