Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a JSON trailing comma error?
JSON does not allow a comma after the last item in an object or array. Our 'Fix Common Errors' button can easily remove these for you.
Can I use single quotes in JSON?
No, the JSON specification strictly requires double quotes for all keys and string values.
Are comments allowed in JSON?
Standard JSON does not support comments (like // or /* */). Our tool can strip them out if you need to make the JSON valid.
Is the validation secure?
Yes, validation runs locally in your browser. No data is sent to a server, ensuring your sensitive information stays private.
What does maximum depth mean?
Maximum depth refers to how deeply nested your JSON structure is. An object inside an array inside an object would have a depth of 3.
