Validate JSON
Check if your text is valid JSON.
About the JSON Validator
The JSON Validator checks whether a document is syntactically valid JSON and points to the exact location of the first error. It is useful because a missing comma or an unquoted key can break an entire integration; validating before shipping saves debugging time.
Like every Pockly tool, it runs entirely in your browser: the JSON you paste is processed on your device and never uploaded to a server.
How to use it
- Paste your JSON into the input panel.
- The result appears automatically in the output panel.
- Fix any reported errors and re-run if needed.
- Copy the result with one click.
Frequently asked questions
Is my JSON uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing happens locally in your browser; your data never leaves your device.
Is there a size limit?
No fixed limit. Documents of several megabytes are processed in seconds.
What if my input is not valid JSON?
The tool shows a clear error message with the location of the problem instead of failing silently.
Are the other JSON utilities related?
Yes — format, minify, sort, validate, flatten, diff, and query all work together; you can chain them by copying output from one into another.
