  • Missing required nested keys

Validation workflow

  1. Paste or upload payload
  2. Run validator
  3. Inspect line-level error
  4. Fix and re-run before integration test

Sample structure

  "orderId": "ord_812",
  "items": [{"sku": "A12", "qty": 2}],
  "meta": {"source": "checkout", "version": 1}
}

Best practices

  • Version API payload contracts
  • Validate in CI before release
  • Use realistic nested fixtures
  • Keep optional/required fields documented

Validator FAQ

Why does valid-looking JSON fail?

Most failures come from strict syntax rules like trailing commas or invalid quoting.

Should I validate JSON in CI?

Yes, validate fixtures and payload snapshots to catch contract regressions before deploy.

Can this help with API integration bugs?

Yes. It quickly identifies malformed payload structure and type issues.
