Why Validate JSON?

Invalid JSON causes errors in your applications. A validator catches these problems before they break your code. It's like spell-check for JSON - it finds syntax errors, missing quotes, trailing commas, and other issues that would cause runtime errors. Validating early saves debugging time later.

Benefits of Validation

  • Prevent errors before they cause problems in your code
  • Quickly identify syntax mistakes with clear error messages
  • Ensure data integrity by catching formatting issues
  • Make sure your JSON works with APIs and other systems

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is JSON validation?

It checks if a JSON string follows correct syntax rules. The validator identifies errors like missing quotes, trailing commas, invalid characters, and structural problems.

What errors does the validator find?

It catches syntax errors like missing quotes around keys, trailing commas, single quotes instead of double quotes, invalid characters, and structural issues that would break your code.

Does validation check data types?

Validation checks syntax, not data types. It ensures your JSON is well-formed, but doesn't verify that values match expected types. That's a separate concern for your application logic.

Can I validate large JSON files?

The tool works best with JSON up to a few megabytes. Very large files may take longer to validate, but most typical use cases work smoothly.
