About Cron Validator
Cron Validator checks a 5-field cron expression (minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week) or 6-field (with seconds), plus aliases like @daily and @hourly. Each field is validated against its range and supports *, lists, ranges, and steps (e.g. */5).
Useful for confirming a cron-job schedule is correct before applying it — cron field errors often go unnoticed until the job fails to run.
FAQ
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All validation runs in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on our servers — safe for sensitive data.
How is this validator different from a parser or formatter?
A validator answers one question: is this input correct/valid? It returns a valid/invalid badge with the reason. A parser breaks input into its components, and a formatter tidies its layout. Use a validator when you just need to confirm something is sound before using it.
