Frequently Asked Questions

Does it check JSON Schema?
This tool validates JSON syntax (is it valid JSON?), not JSON Schema compliance. For schema validation, a dedicated tool is needed.
Are trailing commas allowed?
No. Trailing commas are not valid in JSON specification. This tool will flag them as errors.
