What is the CalcSI JSON Editor?
The CalcSI JSON Editor is a free online tool for editing, validating, comparing, querying and converting JSON data. Switch freely between three views — tree, text and table — and use advanced features like JSON repair, schema validation, diff comparison, JSONPath/JMESPath queries and conversion to YAML, CSV, XML or TypeScript interfaces.
All processing happens entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your device. Ideal for developers, API testers, DevOps engineers, and anyone working with JSON.
Three editor views
- Tree view — Click to edit, drag-and-drop to reorder, keyboard shortcuts to add or remove nodes.
- Text view — Full code editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers and inline error markers.
- Table view — Display arrays of objects as a table, columns = keys. Perfect for API responses with records.
Feature set
- Repair — Auto-fix trailing commas, unquoted keys, single quotes and comments.
- Sort — Recursively order keys alphabetically for deterministic diffs and improved readability.
- JSON Schema validation — Validate your data against a custom schema with types, required fields, min/max, patterns and more.
- Compare (diff) — Two JSONs side-by-side with a clear list of added, removed and modified paths.
- Query — JSONPath and JMESPath supported. Extract exactly the data you need with expressive paths.
- Convert — Switch between JSON, YAML, CSV, XML and generate TypeScript interfaces from your data.
- Import & export — Upload a file, load from URL, download as .json, copy to clipboard.
- 100% local — All operations run in your browser; no data is uploaded or logged.
Common use cases
- Inspect, filter and export API responses to other formats
- Edit and validate configuration files (package.json, tsconfig, OpenAPI)
- Data migration: convert JSON from one application to YAML/CSV/XML for another
- Hunt bugs by diffing two snapshots (before / after a failure)
Is this tool secure?
Yes. All processing — parsing, validating, comparing, converting, querying — runs entirely in your browser. There is no server round-trip and no logging. You can inspect the source code at any time using your browser's developer tools. Even sensitive data like tokens or PII never leaves your device.
