About DevFormat AI
DevFormat AI exists because of a small, persistent frustration: needing to format a piece of JSON or SQL and not being sure whether the online tool about to receive it would log it, store it, or worse. For configuration files, API payloads and anything work-related, "probably fine" is not good enough.
So this site takes the question off the table. Every tool here — the JSON formatter, XML formatter, HTML formatter, CSS formatter, SQL formatter and JavaScript formatter — runs entirely in your browser. There is no backend that receives your content. You can load a page, disconnect from the internet, and keep working. Privacy here is a property of the architecture, not a promise in a policy.
Who builds it
DevFormat AI is built and maintained by Sanka Ventures, a UK-based independent software business that develops tools for regulated and privacy-sensitive sectors — a background that shaped this site's data-never-leaves-your-device approach. The site is funded by unobtrusive advertising, which keeps every tool free with no accounts, limits or upsells.
The guides
The blog collects practical, example-driven articles on the problems these tools get used for — JSON parse errors, SQL readability, minification trade-offs — written to actually resolve the problem that brought you here, not to pad a word count.
