Check whether a text is valid JSON and locate the exact error (line and column) when it isn't, as you type.

Uses the browser's native JSON parser and translates its error message into a readable location (line and column) instead of showing only a technical message.

Use cases

  • Quickly checking whether an API response is valid JSON.
  • Debugging a JSON that fails to parse in your code.
  • Verifying a JSON before pasting it into a configuration file.

    The validation result appears automatically as you type.

Frequently asked questions

Does it catch trailing commas?
Yes, standard JSON doesn't allow trailing commas and this tool flags them as an error, just like JSON.parse would in any browser.
