Discussion on: Why your JSON formatter shouldn't have a backend

If you save something with a publicly available url it is going to be discovered one time or another, guessable url or not.
So the people that add sensitive content are just fools. It is like writing your password on a sticky note and put it on your screen.

As a test I wanted to make a url myself on jsonformatter.org and I got the message they have disabled it to add a NSFW filter. What does that even mean? Are they going to remove shit and fuck? What kind of json files are they uploading on that website?

The best local-first tool to format any code format is ... your editor. No internet needed.

Firefox also has a nice offline JSON viewer with search and expandable hierarhic view by the way.
