Why Format & Validate JSON with BuzzyTools?

API endpoints and production server logs compress JSON data into single minified strings without line breaks, making debugging virtually impossible. Pasting proprietary customer JSON or authentication tokens into random web formatters risks leaking sensitive data to unknown servers. BuzzyTools formats, color-codes, and repairs JSON 100% locally in your browser memory.
