JSON Validator

Validate JSON documents instantly. The checker reports syntax errors, unexpected tokens and empty input without sending data to a server.

Processed locally in your browser. Your input is not uploaded.

Valid JSON.

How to use this tool

The validator uses the native JSON parser. An empty document is invalid; trailing commas and comments are not allowed in strict JSON.

Validate JSON syntax in the browser

A JSON validator answers a simple question: is this document legal JSON? That matters before you commit a composer.json-like structure, a translation file or a mock payload that a test suite will parse.

This checker uses the same parser the browser uses for APIs. Empty input is invalid. The error string usually includes the unexpected token so you can jump to the problem instead of scanning hundreds of lines.

Keep secrets local. If you validate production dumps, a client-side tool is safer than an anonymous upload form.

JSON Validator is built for everyday text, encoding and debugging. Validate JSON documents instantly.
