JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) powers APIs, modern websites, and structured SEO data. But even a small error like a missing bracket or extra comma can make JSON invalid. That’s why validation is essential before using JSON in production.
Our JSON Validator checks if your JSON is correctly structured. Whether you’re debugging an API, validating schema markup, or preparing JSON for SEO, this tool ensures your data is accurate and usable.
How the JSON Validator Works
You can validate JSON in two simple ways:
-
Enter a URL – fetch JSON from an online resource.
-
Paste JSON – manually paste JSON into the editor.
Click Validate JSON and results appear instantly:
-
Status Message – “JSON is Valid” or “JSON is Invalid.”
-
Logs in Toast Notifications – detailed errors help you quickly locate and fix mistakes.
For formatting and readability, you can pair this with our JSON Beautifier, or if you want to edit JSON before validation, use the JSON Editor. Developers working with mixed data can also try the XML to JSON Converter.
Why Validate JSON?
Validation is crucial to ensure JSON works in APIs, apps, and structured data:
-
Error Prevention: Catch formatting mistakes before deployment.
-
SEO Optimization: Validate structured JSON-LD before testing it in Google.
-
API Development: Confirm JSON responses are production-ready.
-
Data Integrity: Prevent broken integrations due to malformed JSON.
-
Debugging: Pinpoint exactly what went wrong with detailed logs.
JSON Validation in SEO & Development
Structured data drives rich snippets, FAQs, and product markup. Invalid JSON-LD can break schema and stop search engines from recognizing your content.
Our JSON Validator helps you:
-
Validate schema snippets before adding them to a site.
-
Edit data with the JSON Editor and then validate.
-
Beautify JSON-LD markup with the JSON Beautifier for clean formatting.
-
Convert legacy XML-based feeds using the XML to JSON Converter before validating the output.
