Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the JSON Validator?▾

The validator gives you a pass/fail plus structural stats. This tool goes further on failure — it recognizes the most common error patterns (trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys, comments) and explains what likely went wrong in plain language.

Can it fix my JSON automatically?▾

No — it explains the problem so you can fix it yourself, since silently "fixing" JSON risks changing your intended data.

What if my error isn't one of the common patterns?▾

You still get the raw line and column from the parser, even when the tool can't offer a specific explanation.

Is my JSON uploaded anywhere?▾

No — parsing happens entirely in your browser via the native JSON.parse.
