JSON Validator
Frequently asked questions
- Is my data sent to a server?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your browser.
- How does JSON validation work?
- The validator parses your text with the browser's JSON parser. Invalid syntax shows the error message plus line and column numbers.
- Does it fix JSON automatically?
- No — it reports errors so you can fix them. Use the JSON Formatter to prettify valid JSON after fixing syntax.
- Can I validate large JSON files?
- Yes. Upload files up to 5MB. Processing stays local in your browser.
- What causes 'Unexpected token' errors?
- Remove commas after the last item: `{"a": 1,}` → `{"a": 1}`
