Format JSON, XML, and CSV — without leaving your Mac
Skip the browser-based formatter that uploads your data to a stranger's server. Clarity Pro formats, converts, and extracts structured data locally, right inside the editor.
Structured data, cleaned up in place
Pasting a minified JSON blob or a messy XML export into a web-based formatter means sending that data to someone else's server. Clarity Pro's data tools do the same job locally — nothing leaves your Mac.
What's included
- JSON — format raw JSON for readability, or minify it.
- XML — clean up XML exports into properly indented documents.
- CSV conversions — CSV to JSON, CSV to a Markdown table, and a Markdown table back to CSV.
- CSV sorting — sort rows without opening a spreadsheet.
- Extraction — pull out emails, URLs, phone numbers, numbers, or dates from any text.
- Free cleanup — trimming, blank-line removal, sorting, deduplication, tabs to spaces, and case changes are included in the free version.
Pairs with Find in Files and Compare
Clarity Pro also includes Find in Files, split view, and a compare tool — useful when you're formatting a data file and need to check it against a previous version or search across several exports at once.
Who it's for
Developers and analysts who regularly work with API responses, config exports, or spreadsheet data and want a fast, private way to format and inspect it without a browser tool.
Frequently asked questions
Does Clarity Edit format JSON and XML?
Yes, in Clarity Pro. JSON and XML formatting tools clean up and structure raw data files directly in the editor.
Can Clarity Edit convert CSV files?
Yes. Clarity Pro converts CSV to JSON and to Markdown tables, converts Markdown tables back to CSV, and sorts CSV rows.
Is my data uploaded anywhere when I use these tools?
No. Clarity Edit processes data formatting and conversion locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded to a server, unlike many browser-based JSON or CSV formatting tools.
Can Clarity Edit handle large CSV files?
Yes. Version 1.5 keeps large CSVs and logs responsive while you type.
