About JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the default data format of web APIs, package manifests and most configuration tooling. It supports objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null.

Private by design

Developer data is often sensitive: API responses, tokens, customer records, internal configs. This JSON Validator processes everything locally in your browser tab. There is no server round-trip, no logging and no storage of your input.

Frequently asked questions

Is this JSON Validator free?

Is my data uploaded to a server?

What does the JSON Validator check?

It parses your input with a standards-compliant JSON parser and reports the first syntax error with its message, line and column.
