Terms of use

1. Agreement

By using JSON Studio at jsonstudio.msdevbuild.com, the installable app version, or the browser extension, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.

2. What the service is

A collection of free, client-side developer utilities for working with JSON and related formats. Everything runs in your browser. There is no account, no subscription, no paid tier, and no usage limit.

3. Provided "as is", with no warranty

The tools are provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.

This matters practically, not just legally. Several tools infer things: a JSON Schema generated from one sample cannot know your real constraints, generated code reflects only the payload you pasted, inferred SQL column types come from the rows you provided, and the schema validator implements a widely used subset of the specification rather than all of it. Treat their output as a well-informed first draft and review it before it reaches production.

4. Your data is your responsibility

Nothing you paste is uploaded — see the privacy policy for exactly what that means. The flip side is that we cannot recover anything for you: drafts live in your browser only, and clearing your browser data removes them.

You are responsible for what you put into the tools. Take particular care with two features that are opt-in and clearly marked: the AI panel sends your JSON to OpenAI with your own key, and "Copy link with my data" produces a link that contains your payload. Do not use either with confidential data you are not permitted to disclose.

5. Acceptable use

Use the tools for anything lawful. Do not use them to process material you have no right to process, to attempt to compromise the site or its users, or to redistribute the site in a way that misrepresents its origin. Automated scraping that degrades availability for others is not acceptable.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the author is not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of these tools — including lost data, lost profits, or decisions made on the basis of their output. Your remedy, if the tools are not right for you, is to stop using them.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

7. Intellectual property

The source code is open and published under the MIT licence — you may read it, fork it, self-host it and adapt it on those terms. The names "JSON Studio" and "MSDEVBUILD", the logo and the site's written content are not covered by that licence; please do not present a copy as the original.

You keep all rights to the data you process. We acquire no rights over it, which follows naturally from never receiving it.

8. Third-party services

The site loads fonts from Google and two libraries from Cloudflare's CDN, and the optional AI panel talks to OpenAI. Those services have their own terms and privacy policies, listed in the privacy policy. Share buttons open third-party sites only when you click them.

9. Availability and changes

This is a free project maintained in spare time. Tools may be added, changed or removed, and the site may be unavailable at times, without notice. Because everything runs client-side, an installed copy keeps working offline even if the site is down.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Where mandatory consumer-protection rules in your own country give you additional rights, those rights are unaffected.

11. Contact

Questions about these terms: contact Suthahar via MSDEVBUILD.
