Frequently Asked Questions
- Q How does the JSON Validator find errors?
- The validator parses your input JSON using the browser’s built-in parser and catches exceptions. On modern browsers, this provides information about the exact position and line of the syntax error.
- Q Does this tool support JSON Schema validation?
- This version checks the standard RFC 8259 JSON syntax (which includes strings, numbers, objects, arrays, booleans, and null values). It validates whether the structure is structurally sound.
