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.
