JSON Encoder & Decoder is a browser-based tool that formats, validates, and encodes/decodes JSON. It leniently parses malformed JSON including unquoted keys, single-quoted strings, trailing commas, JS-style comments, and double-encoded strings, showing output in a Monaco editor with syntax highlighting. It can also double-encode a JSON document into a string for embedding inside another JSON payload. All processing happens client-side in the browser with no data sent to a server, and snippets can be saved locally via the browser's localStorage.
