JSON object example
A single record with named fields. This is the most common JSON shape for APIs and config files.
{
"name": "Ada Lovelace",
"role": "engineer",
"active": true,
"score": 98.5
}JSON Examples — Valid JSON You Can Copy
Copy a valid JSON example, then edit it in the JSON editor. These samples show objects, arrays, nested data, API responses, and config files.
JSON array example
A list of values. Spreadsheets and CSV converters work best when the top level is an array of objects.
[
{ "id": 1, "name": "Ada" },
{ "id": 2, "name": "Grace" }
]Nested JSON example
Objects and arrays can contain other objects. Use a formatter or tree view when the nesting gets deep.
{
"user": {
"email": "ada@example.com",
"address": { "city": "London", "country": "UK" }
},
"tags": ["math", "computing"]
}API response example
A typical REST payload with metadata plus a data array.
{
"ok": true,
"page": 1,
"data": [
{ "id": "u_1", "name": "Ada" },
{ "id": "u_2", "name": "Grace" }
]
}Config file example
Application settings often live in a JSON object with booleans, numbers, and nested options.
{
"theme": "dark",
"retry": 3,
"features": {
"autosave": true,
"telemetry": false
}
}How to Use These JSON Examples
- Copy a sample that matches the shape you need.
- Open it in the JSON editor to change field names and values.
- Validate, format, minify, or convert the result with the other JSON tools.
About These JSON Examples
This page is a gallery of valid JSON you can copy — not a full editor. Use the JSON editor to create a file, the validator to check a broken snippet, and JSON to CSV when the sample is an array of objects.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a valid JSON example?
Valid JSON uses double quotes for keys and strings, no trailing commas, and matching brackets. The samples on this page all parse successfully.
Should I use a JSON object or a JSON array?
Use an object for one record with named fields. Use an array for a list of records. CSV conversion works best with an array of objects.
Can I edit these JSON examples?
Yes. Click Open in JSON editor to load the sample into the editor, then format, validate, or download it.
Why is my JSON invalid when I add comments?
Standard JSON does not allow comments or single quotes. Remove them and validate the file with the JSON validator.
Where can I check a broken JSON sample?
Paste it into the JSON validator to see the exact error line.
Tips for Learning JSON from Examples
- Change one field at a time, then validate so you see which edit broke the file.
- Compare an object example with an array example before you pick a CSV shape.
- Keep a valid sample nearby when you are fixing unexpected token errors.
