JSON validation: syntax vs structure (quick approach)
JSON validation has two layers: syntax (JSON.parse) and structure (shape expectations). Learn a quick approach and validate locally (no upload).
JSON syntax vs structure (why tools disagree) Playbook
JSON syntax vs structure (why tools disagree). Actionable remediation checklist with tool links and relevant guides.
TL;DR: Validate -> locate exact failing spot -> fix the minimal part -> re-validate.
Execution steps
- Validate input locally. Start with a validator or parser-friendly converter.
- Locate root cause. Use line/position/error token to isolate one failing place.
- Apply a minimal fix. Do not refactor all content at once.
- Re-validate and continue. Once clean, convert/export safely.
