Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason JSON fails validation?

Trailing commas after the last item in an object or array, and using single quotes instead of standard double quotes.

Does it support JSON with comments (JSONC)?

Standard JSON does not permit comments. The validator enforces strict RFC standards to ensure compatibility with backend parsers.
