I got tired of broken JSON so I built a fixer

You know that moment when you're debugging at 2am and the API returns malformed JSON? Or when someone sends you a config file with trailing commas and Python's True instead of true?

I kept running into this, so I built something for it.

What it does

webtoolz.dev is a JSON studio that runs entirely in your browser. The usual stuff is there—formatter, validator, minifier, tree view. But the thing I actually use most is the AI fix.

Paste broken JSON, click fix, get valid JSON. It handles:

  • Missing quotes around keys
  • Trailing commas
  • True/Falsetrue/false
  • Missing commas between properties

Why browser-only matters

Nothing leaves your machine. I work with config files that have API keys and credentials—not comfortable pasting those into random online tools that "process on the server."

This runs 100% client-side. Check the network tab if you don't believe me.

No signup, no tracking

Just use it. That's it.

webtoolz.dev

Would love feedback if you try it.
