How to Fix JSON Errors - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your Broken JSON

Got broken JSON that's causing errors? Let's fix it! Paste your problematic JSON data:

Paste broken JSON: Copy error-prone JSON from your API responses, config files, or databases
Fix common errors: Automatically repairs comma errors, bracket errors, quote issues, and other syntax problems
Try sample JSON: Click "Sample" to load valid JSON and see the tool in action 🔧
⚠️

Note: For very large JSON files, the server may not be able to handle the processing due to the complex algorithm required for error detection and fixing. Please use smaller JSON chunks for best results.

Example: Common JSON Errors

Here are typical JSON syntax errors that break parsing:

{
  "name": "Sarah Chen",
  "email": "sarah@company.com",
  "age": 28,
  "skills": ["JavaScript", "Python", "React",], // ❌ Trailing comma
  "active": true,
  "projects": {
    "current": "Website Redesign"
    "completed": "Mobile App" // ❌ Missing comma
  }
  "department": 'Engineering' // ❌ Single quotes instead of double
}
