What this tool does
JSON Validator checks whether your JSON is valid and points you to what is wrong when it is not. Paste a snippet and it tells you if it parses cleanly, or flags the spot where a bracket, quote, or comma is breaking it, so you stop guessing why a file will not load.
How it works
Paste your JSON and the validator parses it in your browser and reports the result. If there is an error, it shows where the structure breaks so you can fix it. Nothing is uploaded.
