How to fix “JSON.parse” errors (and avoid them next time)
Learn how to troubleshoot JSON.parse errors like “Unexpected token” and validate JSON safely. Includes quick fixes and a no-upload validator.
JSON schema validation basics
Troubleshoot JSON schema validation basics with a reliable workflow: validate, locate the position/line, fix the root cause, and validate again (no upload).
TL;DR: Validate locally, pinpoint the failing spot, apply the minimal fix, then validate again.
Fast no-upload workflow
- Validate the input (strict rules, correct encoding, correct delimiter/quotes).
- Locate the exact position/line reported by the parser or validator.
- Fix the smallest broken part (often a quote, escape, delimiter, or a truncated copy/paste).
- Re-validate and only then convert/export.
