What errors does this validator detect?

Syntax errors including missing quotes, trailing commas, incorrect bracket nesting, invalid escape sequences, and bare keys.

What's the difference between this and the JSON Formatter?

The validator focuses on error detection and reporting with precise error locations. The formatter focuses on beautifying or minifying valid JSON.

Can I validate large JSON files?

Yes. Since processing is local, there's no file size limit — only your device memory is the constraint.
