JSON validator online: fast checks before shipping
A JSON validator should do 3 things well: reject invalid syntax, show exactly where it fails, and give you formatted output you can read.
Common validation failures
- Single quotes instead of double quotes for keys or strings.
- Trailing commas after the last array/object item.
- Unescaped line breaks or quote characters inside strings.
- Pasting HTML error pages and trying to parse them as JSON.
// Invalid JSON
{
"name": "Kim",
"active": true,
}
// Valid JSON
{
"name": "Kim",
"active": true
}Paste your payload into the JSON Formatter & Validator tool to validate, pretty print, and minify in one place.
