# PayloadBench

PayloadBench is a browser-local workbench for comparing and inspecting API payloads at https://payloadbench.org.

## Core Positioning

PayloadBench compares JSON first, then formats, validates, views, parses, decodes, and queries payloads in browser-local workflows. Users can open DevTools, watch the Network tab, and confirm that core tools do not intentionally upload pasted content.

Recommended short description:
PayloadBench is a browser-based JSON formatter and developer toolkit focused on verifiable browser-local workflows. Users can verify the privacy claim by opening DevTools -> Network, using the JSON tools, and confirming that no request contains pasted JSON, JWTs, schemas, or queries during core tool operations.
