If you have a minified API response, start with the JSON Formatter; to find out exactly why a payload fails to parse, the JSON Validator highlights the failing line as you type. Large nested documents are easiest to explore in the JSON Viewer.
For configuration work, the YAML Formatter catches indentation mistakes, and the converters move data between JSON, YAML, XML and CSV when one system expects a different format than another produces.
When you are debugging authentication, the JWT Decoder shows a token's claims and expiry, while the Base64 and URL tools reverse the encodings you meet in headers and query strings.
