What errors can this tool find?

It finds common JSON syntax problems such as missing commas, unclosed or mismatched brackets, trailing commas, and incorrect quotes. The error location is highlighted so you know exactly where to look.

What does valid JSON mean?

Valid JSON follows the strict rules of the format, including double-quoted keys, correct commas and brackets, and no trailing characters. Only valid JSON can be parsed correctly by browsers and APIs.

Is my data sent to a server?

No, validation happens entirely in your browser. Your JSON never leaves your device, which makes the tool safe for sensitive configuration data.

Will it accept JSON with comments?

Standard JSON does not allow comments, so JavaScript-style comments will be reported as a syntax error. Remove or convert comments before validating.
