The sort-keys operation sorts the keys of JSON objects in alphabetical order. It applies the sorting recursively, so object keys are sorted not only at the top level but also inside nested objects. Arrays are preserved as arrays, while any objects contained inside them are processed in the same way.
Lamuki first parses the file content as JSON, then recursively processes the resulting data. For each JSON object, its keys are sorted using standard string locale comparison before the object is reconstructed. Nested objects are processed recursively, and array elements are also processed so that objects inside arrays have their keys sorted. The resulting JSON is written back with two-space indentation.
Yes. Sorting is recursive throughout the JSON structure. If an object contains another object several levels deep, the keys of that nested object are sorted as well. Objects inside arrays are also processed, while primitive JSON values such as strings, numbers, booleans, and null remain unchanged.
The operation does not intentionally change JSON values. Its transformation is to reorder object keys. Strings, numbers, booleans, null values, and the contents of arrays remain the same, although the textual representation of the JSON is rewritten using two-space indentation.
The operation attempts to parse the file as JSON before sorting it. If parsing fails because the content is invalid JSON, the file is not rewritten with sorted data. Instead, the operation reports a JSON Decode Error with the message Invalid JSON file.
Open the JSON workspace, add the JSON files you want to process, select the files, and apply the sort-keys operation. Lamuki processes the selected files in the browser and updates their JSON content with sorted object keys. You can then review the processed files and download the files you need.
Yes. The JSON workspace supports working with multiple files, so sort-keys can be applied to selected files rather than requiring you to process each file individually. Lamuki also provides unlimited batch processing, making the operation suitable for workflows involving many JSON files.
Lamuki supports uploading entire folders into its workspaces. This can be useful when your JSON files are organized in directories and you want to work with multiple files together. After the files are available in the JSON workspace, you can select the files you want and apply the sort-keys operation.
Alphabetically ordered keys can make JSON easier to inspect and compare. Sorting can provide a consistent ordering when reviewing structured data, examining changes between files, or working with generated JSON where property order may otherwise vary. Because the operation applies the same ordering recursively, it can make the structure of complex JSON documents more consistent throughout the file.
No. JSON objects are represented as collections of name-value pairs, and this operation changes their textual key order rather than their associated values. The operation does not rename keys, remove properties, or modify primitive values. It rewrites the parsed JSON with the object keys in sorted order.
Yes. The sort-keys operation is part of the complete JSON workspace, so you can continue working with the same files after it finishes. From the workspace operation interface, you can select another available operation instead of manually downloading the files and uploading them again between steps.
Yes. After sort-keys processes the selected files, you can review the resulting files in the workspace and download the files you need. This keeps key sorting within the broader workflow of selecting files, applying operations, reviewing results, and completing your JSON work.
No. The JSON content is processed directly in your browser rather than being transferred to a remote server for processing. This allows you to sort JSON object keys while keeping the file contents on your device instead of sending them to Lamuki's servers for the operation.
Anyone working with JSON whose object properties need a consistent alphabetical order can benefit from sort-keys. It is useful when reviewing configuration files, inspecting structured data, comparing JSON documents, or preparing JSON files whose object keys are easier to understand when presented in a predictable order. The recursive behavior also makes it suitable for JSON containing nested objects and arrays of objects.
