How does the JSON validator detect errors?
Our validator uses the native JSON.parse() engine to detect syntax errors and reports the exact line number and character position of the issue.
Can I validate large JSON files?
Yes. Since all processing happens in your browser, there are no server-side file size limits. Performance depends only on your device's capabilities.
Does it format JSON too?
Absolutely. After validation, you can beautify your JSON with customizable indentation (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs).
