Frequently Asked Questions

How does this JSON validator work?

Paste or type JSON and it validates in real-time using the browser's built-in JSON.parse(). When errors are found, it shows the exact error message and approximate line/column number.

What structure information does it show?

For valid JSON, you get: total keys, max nesting depth, count of objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, and total byte size.

What are common JSON errors?

Trailing commas after the last property, single quotes instead of double quotes, unquoted property names, missing commas between properties, and unbalanced brackets or braces.

Is this different from JSON Formatter?

JSON Formatter focuses on formatting and beautifying JSON. This validator focuses on finding errors, showing line numbers, and analyzing the JSON structure.

Is my JSON data safe?

Yes. Validation happens 100% in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
