How to Validate JSON Online
About This JSON Validator
This page checks JSON syntax only. It does not try to rank for every JSON job. If you need to create or rewrite a file, use the JSON editor. If you only want indentation, use the JSON formatter.
The checker uses the browser's JSON parser and maps the failure position to a line and column so “unexpected token” is actionable instead of vague.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I validate JSON online?
Paste or upload JSON and click Validate JSON. Valid input shows a success message with size details.
Why do I get unexpected token in JSON?
Usually a trailing comma, single quotes, an unquoted key, or a missing bracket. Jump to the line and inspect the character before the error.
Does this JSON validator upload my data?
No. Validation runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I validate a JSON array?
Yes. Arrays, objects, and primitive JSON values can all be checked.
What should I do after JSON is valid?
Beautify it, minify it, convert it to CSV or TypeScript, or keep editing.
Tips for Catching JSON Errors Faster
- Validate before you convert. CSV and TypeScript tools need valid JSON.
- Compare a broken snippet with a known-good sample from the JSON examples page.
- Remember that JSON is stricter than JavaScript object literals.
