About of JSON Validator

The online json validator is an essential resource for anyone who wants to ensure their json data is well formed and meets the standards of syntax set forth by the standard rules.Json (javascript object notation) is the "blood" of any modern development environment (web application programming interface/api) because the majority of the time it is used to transfer data between different systems.A simple typographical error like not including a comma, mismatched bracket pair, or poorly formatted json could cause your application to fail to process the information you give it.

By using an online json validation tool you will instantly know whether or not your json data is valid in real time.You need only to copy and paste your json data into one of the tool’s input box or upload it from your hard drive then it will check your data in “real time” for potential errors.If the json that you copied and pasted is not yet valid this tool will highlight for you where you need to make changes to your json file before it is permanently stored.

This type of tool can be extremely beneficial to developers, testers, and data analysts that routinely work with APIs and/or high volume data sets. This tool will help to ensure that the JSON being created is properly formatted, which will in turn minimize the likelihood of a bug being introduced when using the JSON to send/receive data to/from applications. This will also ultimately improve the productivity of all of the tasks that you perform.

Invalid JSON (Before Validation)

{"students":[{"name":"Student-1""age":"23"},{"name":"Student-1","age":"21"}]}

Invalid JSON URLExpected ',' or '}' after property value in JSON at position 32 (line 1 column 33)
