JSON Depth & Size Limiter
Create a shortened JSON preview with explicit depth and child limits, marker strings and an audit of removed structure.
Ready. Explore the example or use the input controls to begin.
Scope and practical limits
Intentionally removes data from a separate output copy. Root node depth zero; containers at the cutoff become a marker. Child limits retain the first members/items. Keep the original or project for complete data.

Using JSON Depth & Size Limiter
Create a shortened JSON preview with explicit depth and child limits, marker strings and an audit of removed structure.
- Load the example or import the primary input. Supply the second JSON input when comparing or merging.
- Choose the explicit transformation rules, then inspect the result and audit before downloading.
- Download the output, audit or exact matrix JSON. Save a project to retain editable settings.
Example
Limit containers at depth 1 to replace nested objects/arrays with a visible marker while leaving scalar values intact.
Questions & answers
What behavior should I check before using the output?
Intentionally removes data from a separate output copy. Root node depth zero; containers at the cutoff become a marker. Child limits retain the first members/items. Keep the original or project for complete data.
Are large JSON numbers rounded?
The shared JSON parser preserves numeric source tokens. Duplicate keys and inputs beyond the stated limits are rejected. Other applications can still round numbers when they parse an export.
Is my input saved automatically?
No. Save a project or download your result before leaving. Processing is local; website ads and analytics follow the site consent and privacy settings.
