FAQs
Is “repair” safe?
Repair is best-effort. It may remove comments/trailing commas or adjust quotes/keys so parsing succeeds. Always review the output.
What issues can “repair” fix?
Common ones: comments, trailing commas, single quotes, and simple unquoted keys. If it still can’t parse, you’ll get a structured view.
What does “line and column” mean?
It points to where parsing failed in the input. Use it to quickly find missing quotes, commas, or braces.
Is my JSON stored?
JSON is sent to the server to format/repair. The site is designed not to persist your pasted content.
Need to compare two JSON payloads?
Format both here, then compare using Text compare.
