How to Debug Common JSON Errors

Track down malformed JSON quickly using a formatter, validator and diff tool.

1. Validate the JSON first

Use the JSON Beautifier to validate and pretty-print any payload. Syntax issues stand out immediately.

2. Compare old vs new payloads

If something suddenly broke, load the old working response and the new one into JSON Diff to see what changed.

3. Isolate the problematic section

Trim your JSON down until the error disappears. This narrow slice is usually where the issue lives.
