About JSON Validator

Validation checks JSON grammar. It does not enforce business rules or a particular JSON Schema.

  • Validate a configuration file.

Why use it here?

  • Runs locally in your browser.
  • No account needed; copy or download your result.

A few things to keep in mind

  • Duplicate object keys follow JavaScript parsing behavior.

Good questions. Simple answers.

Does it check required fields?

No. Syntax validation does not check domain rules, field types, or required properties.

Is my input uploaded?

No. This tool processes your input in your browser. Your input and output are not included in analytics.
