JSON Validator

Instantly check whether your JSON is valid, right in your browser.

Paste your JSON below to instantly check whether it's valid - entirely in your browser, nothing is sent to our servers.

JSON is stricter than the JavaScript it is based on: property names and strings must use double quotes, trailing commas and comments are not allowed, and values such as undefined or NaN are invalid. The validator checks your input against that strict standard and, when it fails, shows the browser parser's error message, which usually names the unexpected character and its position. Typical uses are checking an API response, a webhook payload or a configuration file such as package.json before relying on it. JustChecker builds tools that respect your data - this one never leaves your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

No - this tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your JSON is never transmitted anywhere.

It catches syntax errors like missing commas, unmatched brackets/braces, trailing commas, and improperly quoted keys or strings - anything that would make the JSON fail to parse.

Valid JSON only means the syntax is correct - it doesn't check whether the data itself matches what your application or API expects (that would require a schema validator).
