What is a JSON parser?

A JSON parser reads JSON text and converts it into a format that programs use: objects, arrays, strings, numbers, true, false and null. If the text is not valid JSON, the parser stops and reports an error.

How to parse JSON online?

Paste a JSON string into the editor or upload a .json file, then press Parse to analyze the JSON structure.

What causes a JSON parse error?

A parse error means the text breaks a JSON rule:

  • a comma before a closing brace or bracket
  • single quotes instead of double quotes
  • a key without quotes
  • a missing comma between two items
  • a missing closing brace or bracket

You can repair all of them in one step with Fix.

JSON Parser Example

Below is a JSON string and the result of parsing it.

JSON String
{"Id": 3051, "Customer": "Ada Lane", "Items": [{"Sku": "A1", "Qty": 2}, {"Sku": "B7", "Qty": 1}], "Paid": true}

Parsed JSON Tree
object {4}
    Id : 3051
    Customer : Ada Lane
    Items [2]
        0 {2}
            Sku : A1
            Qty : 2
        1 {2}
            Sku : B7
            Qty : 1
    Paid : true

Do I need a desktop app or browser plugin to parse JSON?

No. Parsing runs in your browser, so there is nothing to download or install. ReqBin receives your JSON only if you save or share it.
