Common JSON validation checks

  • Check whether pasted API payloads are valid JSON before debugging downstream code.
  • Catch syntax errors such as missing commas, invalid quotes, trailing commas, or broken escape sequences.
  • Format valid JSON after validation so nested objects and arrays are easier to inspect.
  • Use the tree view to confirm object paths and value types after the JSON parses successfully.

FAQ

Why does valid JavaScript object syntax fail as JSON?

JSON requires double-quoted property names and strings, and it does not allow comments or trailing commas.

Does validation run on a server?

No. The JSON parser and error handling run in your browser.

Can I format JSON after validation?

Yes. Click Format after pasting valid JSON to beautify it and refresh the tree view.
