Question 1

Which data formats can I validate here?

Accepted Answer

You can validate and format JSON, YAML, XML, TOML, CSV, SQL, HTML, and INI files. Each tool provides real-time syntax checking, error highlighting with line numbers, and automatic formatting or beautification.

Question 2

Is my data sent to a server for validation?

Accepted Answer

No. All validation and formatting happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript parsers. Your data never leaves your device, making these tools safe for sensitive configuration files and credentials.

Question 3

Can I use these validators offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fabriks is a Progressive Web App (PWA). After your first visit, all tools are cached and work without an internet connection.

Question 4

What is the difference between validation and formatting?

Accepted Answer

Validation checks whether your data conforms to the format's specification and reports errors. Formatting (also called beautification or pretty-printing) re-indents and restructures valid data so it is easier to read. Most tools here do both in a single step.

Question 5

How do I convert between data formats?

Accepted Answer

While each tool focuses on a single format, you can use them together. For instance, validate your JSON, then manually restructure it as YAML. For automated conversion, consider libraries like js-yaml or fast-xml-parser in your codebase.
