Frequently Asked Questions

What does a JSON validator check for?

A JSON validator checks for correct syntax including matching braces and brackets, properly quoted keys and strings, valid data types, trailing commas, and other common JSON formatting mistakes.

Why is my JSON invalid?

Common reasons include trailing commas after the last item in arrays or objects, single quotes instead of double quotes, unquoted keys, missing colons between keys and values, and unclosed brackets or braces.
