Instructions

How to use JSON Validator

Paste or choose JSON, then select Validate JSON. Valid source remains available unchanged for copying or download.

Real input and output example

{"name":"first","name":"second"} is valid syntax but produces a duplicate-key warning with both source locations.

Diagnostics and limitations

What this tool reports clearly

Syntax validation does not enforce a JSON Schema. Use JSON Schema Validator when fields and value constraints matter.

Privacy

Files are read with browser APIs and processing runs in a dedicated local Worker. Your JSON is never placed in a network request.

FAQ

Common question

Why warn about duplicate keys?

Many parsers silently retain only the final value, so both locations are reported before parsing.
