Good comparison. My rule of thumb: jq or a CLI in scripts and CI, a browser formatter for quick one-off pastes. The one thing I'd check in any online formatter is that parsing happens client-side, since API responses often contain tokens. The free JSON formatter at ToolSphare works that way: https://toolsphare.com/tools/json-formatter
