Frequently Asked Questions

Is the JSON Validator free to use?
Yes, the JSON Validator is completely free with no usage limits. Validate as much JSON as you need without any registration, subscriptions, or restrictions.
Is my JSON data private when validating?
Yes, all validation happens entirely in your browser. Your JSON data never leaves your device and is never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive configuration files, API payloads, or any other JSON content.
What does the JSON Validator check?
The validator checks for proper JSON syntax including correct bracket matching, valid string escaping, proper use of commas and colons, valid data types, and adherence to the JSON specification. It catches common errors like trailing commas, single quotes, and unquoted keys.
How do I fix JSON validation errors?
When validation fails, the tool provides detailed error messages indicating what went wrong and where. Common fixes include adding missing brackets, removing trailing commas, using double quotes instead of single quotes, and properly escaping special characters in strings.
Can I validate JSON against a schema?
This tool validates JSON syntax. For validating JSON against a specific schema (like OpenAPI or custom schemas), check out our JSON Schema Builder tool which allows you to define and validate against custom JSON schemas.
