How do you validate JSON?

Validating JSON involves checking if the syntax conforms to JSON specifications. Use our JSON Editor at jsonconsole.com/json-editor which provides instant validation as you type, highlighting errors with helpful messages indicating the problem and location. The validator checks for common issues: missing or extra commas, incorrect quote types, trailing commas, unmatched brackets, invalid data types, and improper escape sequences. In code, use try-catch blocks with JSON.parse() which throws errors for invalid JSON. Most programming languages provide JSON parsing libraries that validate during parsing. Online validators and IDE extensions also catch syntax errors. Validation ensures your JSON will be correctly parsed by all systems. Check that keys are strings in double quotes, values use correct types, commas separate items properly, and all brackets match. Our validation tool works locally in your browser, keeping your data private while ensuring syntax correctness.
