JSON Validator

Validate JSON syntax and pinpoint errors instantly.

Processed locally in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.

Overview

Checks whether a JSON document is syntactically valid and, if not, tells you exactly which line and character to fix.

How to use it

  1. 1Paste your JSON into the editor.
  2. 2Validation runs automatically as you type.
  3. 3If invalid, the exact error position is highlighted with a description.

How it works

Uses the native JSON.parse engine and surfaces its error message alongside the line/column it points to, so you don't have to hunt through the raw error string.

Tips

  • A single missing comma or extra closing brace is the most common cause of invalid JSON — check the line right before the reported error too.
