How to Validate JSON Online

JSON is used everywhere: APIs, configs, data exchange. Invalid syntax (missing comma, wrong quote, trailing comma) causes parsing errors. Our JSON Validator shows the exact line and message so you can fix it fast.

Common causes

  • Missing or extra comma between elements.
  • Unclosed bracket or brace.
  • Trailing comma after the last element (not allowed in strict JSON).
  • Single quotes instead of double quotes for strings.

How to fix

  • Paste your JSON into the validator and run the check.
  • Fix the reported line; often one fix resolves several errors.
  • Use Format to auto-indent and spot structural issues.
