About JSON5 Validator
JSON5 Validator checks JSON5 — the human-friendly JSON superset that allows comments, trailing commas, single quotes, and unquoted keys. The tool does a structural scan (bracket balance, closed strings & comments) and also reports whether the input passes as strict JSON.
Useful for JSON5-style config files (e.g. .babelrc, a tsconfig with comments). For strict JSON, use the JSON Validator in the Data category.
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.
