Guide to JSON Validation & RFC 8259 Standards
1. How does JSON syntactic validation work?
Validation checks your data using a strict grammar parser. It verifies curly braces {}, square brackets [], mandatory double quotes on property keys, and valid primitive literals.
2. Common JSON syntax traps
The usual breaks are a trailing comma ({"ok": true,}), single quotes, an unquoted key, and a // comment. The diagnostic marks the line and column of the first token that fails. undefined and NaN are not JSON.
