What Censor JSON Data can do:

This tool is perfect for sanitizing user data or API responses before sharing or storing them. Whether you’re masking personal identifiers (like names, emails, and addresses) or removing empty fields, it provides a fast and straightforward way to prepare data. With live updates and full control over which fields to censor, this tool ensures that sensitive information is kept secure.

Example:

Before:

{
  "name": "Alice",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "London"
}

With options enabled:

  • Censor Fields: name,email
  • Replace with Placeholder: On

After:

{
  "name": "[CENSORED]",
  "email": "[CENSORED]",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "London"
}

Common Use Cases:

Use Censor JSON Data when handling sensitive user information in APIs, logs, or before sharing data in public repositories. It’s also useful for ensuring that personally identifiable information (PII) is protected before analysis or exporting.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you need to target specific info, Extract JSON Keys/Values can help you zero in on what should be hidden. Then, after censoring, Obfuscate JSON can add an extra layer by scrambling any remaining sensitive details.
