Frequently Asked Questions
What is a JSON Validator?
A JSON Validator checks if your JSON data follows the correct syntax rules. It identifies errors like missing commas, unquoted keys, trailing commas, and other common mistakes, showing exactly where the problem is.
What common JSON errors can be detected?
Common errors include: trailing commas, missing commas between elements, single quotes instead of double quotes, unquoted property names, missing closing brackets/braces, and invalid escape sequences.
Can the validator fix my JSON automatically?
Yes! Our validator can automatically fix many common errors like trailing commas, single quotes, and unquoted keys. When a fix is available, you'll see an 'Auto-Fix' button to apply the correction.
Is my JSON data secure?
Absolutely. All validation happens directly in your browser - your data is never sent to any server. Your JSON stays completely private and secure.
What's the difference between JSON and JSON5?
Standard JSON is strict: it requires double quotes, no trailing commas, and no comments. JSON5 is an extension that allows single quotes, trailing commas, and comments. Our validator checks against standard JSON.
