JSON Validator

Check whether a JSON document is syntactically valid. When it is not, you get the exact error and position so you can fix it without guessing.

How to use

  1. Paste the JSON you want to check.
  2. Click Validate.
  3. Read the result: valid JSON reports success with key counts; invalid JSON reports the exact syntax error.

Examples

Trailing comma (invalid)
Input: {"a": 1,}
Output: Invalid: Unexpected token } in JSON at position 9

Frequently asked questions

Does validation check against a schema?

This tool checks JSON syntax only (RFC 8259). JSON Schema validation is a separate feature we may add later.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Validation is performed locally in your browser; no data is transmitted.
