About the JSON Validator

The JSON Validator uses the browser's standards-compliant parser and reports whether the root is an object, array or primitive. For arrays and objects it also reports the immediate entry count.

How to use the JSON Validator

  1. Paste the entire JSON payload.
  2. Run validation.
  3. Use the parser message and nearby position to repair malformed syntax.

Practical tips

  • Remove trailing commas before a closing bracket or brace.
  • Remember that undefined and NaN are not JSON values.
