A few useful answers

Does this accept comments or trailing commas?

No. This validates standard JSON. Comments, trailing commas, and single-quoted strings are not valid JSON.

Is API data sent anywhere?

No. Formatting and validation happen in your browser. Clearing the workspace removes its current contents.
