- URL Input: Allows users to validate JSON data directly from a URL.
- Copy-Paste Input: Supports direct input of JSON code via copy and paste.
- Error Detection: Identifies and highlights specific errors in the JSON code, including line numbers.
- Compression/Minification: Can compress JSON to reduce file size.
Use Cases:
- Software Development: Validating JSON data used in APIs, configuration files, and data exchange.
- Data Analysis: Formatting and validating JSON data extracted from various sources.
- Web Development: Ensuring the correctness of JSON data used in web applications.
- Educational Purposes: Learning and understanding JSON syntax and structure.
- Troubleshooting: Identifying and resolving errors in JSON code.
JSONLint simplifies the process of working with JSON data by providing a user-friendly interface for validation and formatting, making it an essential tool for developers and data professionals.
