Frequently asked questions

Does this send appsettings.json to a server?

No. The validator runs in your browser. You should still remove real secrets before pasting configuration anywhere.

Does it replace a secret scanner?

No. It is a focused configuration review and does not replace deployment scanning or a vault.

Which ASP.NET sections are checked?

It checks JSON structure, connection strings, AllowedHosts, log levels, JWT-like settings and Kestrel endpoint URLs.
