Working with JSON data from APIs or configuration files can be tricky, especially when it's minified or poorly formatted. Our JSON Validator & Formatter is a two-in-one utility designed to make your life easier. First, it validates your JSON to ensure it's syntactically correct, immediately highlighting any errors like missing commas or brackets.
If the JSON is valid, the utility then beautifies (or 'pretty-prints') the code, adding indentation and line breaks. This transforms a compressed, unreadable block of data into a well-structured format that's easy to navigate and understand. It's an indispensable utility for any developer working with JSON.

What kind of errors does the validator check for?
The validator checks for common syntax errors such as missing commas between properties, trailing commas, incorrect use of quotes (keys and strings must be in double quotes), and mismatched brackets or braces.
