About JSON Validator

JSON Validator checks whether your JSON is valid. Paste it and the result appears as you type; if the JSON is invalid you see the parser’s error message so you can find the problem, such as a missing comma, quote or bracket. It runs in your browser.

How to use JSON Validator

  1. Paste your JSON.
  2. It is checked automatically.
  3. Read the result or the error message and fix the JSON.

When JSON Validator is useful

  • Check an API response or config file
  • Find a syntax error in hand-written JSON
  • Confirm data is valid before importing it

Trailing commas, single quotes instead of double quotes, unquoted keys and missing brackets are the usual causes.

Is JSON Validator free?

Yes. You can use Modyfiles tools for free, and you do not need an account for your first 10 files. A paid plan raises the daily limits and the maximum file size.
