About JSON Validator

JSON Validator is a tool that checks whether your JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is syntactically correct. It helps identify and locate errors in your JSON data.

Common JSON Errors

  • Missing quotes: All property names must be in double quotes
  • Trailing commas: JSON does not allow trailing commas after the last element
  • Single quotes: JSON requires double quotes, not single quotes
  • Unescaped characters: Special characters in strings must be escaped
  • Comments: Standard JSON does not support comments

Valid JSON Data Types

  • String: Text in double quotes - "hello"
  • Number: Integer or decimal - 42, 3.14
  • Boolean: true or false
  • null: Empty value
  • Array: Ordered list - [1, 2, 3]
  • Object: Key-value pairs - {"key": "value"}

JSON Syntax Rules

  1. Data is in name/value pairs
  2. Data is separated by commas
  3. Curly braces hold objects
  4. Square brackets hold arrays
  5. Names must be strings in double quotes
