Stop Pasting API Keys Online: Why Local JSON Formatting Wins
Every developer has done it. You get a messy API response, copy it, search "JSON Formatter" on Google, and paste it into the first result. But have you ever stopped to think: Where does that data go?
The Hidden Risk of "Cloud" Tools
Many free online tools process your data on their backend servers. This means your JSON—which might contain User IDs, Emails, or even Authorization: Bearer tokens—is being uploaded to a stranger's server logs.
The Solution: Client-Side Parsing
Modern browsers are powerful enough to handle massive JSON files instantly. There is absolutely no need to upload data to a server just to add indentation.
The Bento JSON Formatter uses JavaScript's native JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() methods directly in your browser memory. Your data never leaves your RAM.

Conclusion
Security isn't just about firewalls; it's about habits. Stop pasting sensitive data into black-box websites. Switch to client-side tools and keep your API keys private.
