Frequently asked questions
Does this detect JSON errors?

Yes. Invalid JSON is highlighted with an error message showing exactly where the syntax problem is.

Is there a size limit for JSON input?

No server limit. Very large JSON files (1MB+) may take a moment to parse, limited only by your device's memory.

Can I validate JSON without formatting it?

Yes. Any input you paste is validated live as you type — a green indicator means valid, red means there's a syntax error.
