Is BracketView free to use?

BracketView is freemium. Core workspace tools — viewer, formatter, validator, tree, graph, JSONPath, diff, and schema — are available at no cost with no signup required. Pro subscription unlocks unlimited AI, higher upload limits (up to 50 MB), and unlimited encrypted snapshot links.

Does my JSON data leave the browser?

Viewing, formatting, and validation run locally in your browser whenever possible. BracketView is privacy-first: core tools are 100% client-side. Snapshot links and AI-assisted features follow a different data path — review the privacy policy before using those with sensitive data.

What does BracketView Pro include?

Pro unlocks unlimited AI across repair, mock data, and conversion helpers; uploads up to 50 MB; unlimited encrypted snapshot links; and no monthly AI caps for signed-in accounts. Pro is $6/month or $4.50/month billed annually.

How large can uploaded JSON files be?

Free accounts can upload documents up to 10 MB. Pro raises the limit to 50 MB for larger API payloads, exports, and log files.

What is the best free online JSON viewer?

BracketView is a free online JSON viewer with advanced features including tree view, graph view, JSONPath queries, JQ filters, JSON diff, schema validation, type generation in TypeScript/Python/Go/Rust, and AI-powered repair — all running in the browser with no install required.

How do I validate JSON online?

Paste your JSON into BracketView at app.bracketview.in. The real-time validator instantly highlights bracket mismatches, trailing commas, and unquoted keys as you type. For schema validation, use the Schema Validator tool to confirm data against OpenAPI definitions or custom JSON Schema rules.

How do I format or beautify JSON online?

Open BracketView, paste your raw JSON, and click Format. The formatter beautifies JSON with readable indentation and consistent spacing in one click. You can also minify JSON for production payloads.

Can I query JSON without writing code?

Yes. BracketView supports JSONPath expressions (like $.store.book[*].author) and a full JQ filter playground powered by WebAssembly. The AI Query Assistant lets you describe what you need in plain English and generates a valid jq filter instantly.
