JSON Schema Validation · Local Browser Tool
JSON Schema Validator Online
Validate a JSON instance against a JSON Schema in your browser. Get separate schema and instance errors with JSON paths, approximate line numbers, and suggested fixes.
No upload: parsing and validation happen locally in this browser tab. This is a focused common-keyword checker, not a complete replacement for an authoritative JSON Schema library.
Field-level results
See whether the problem is in the schema or the JSON instance.
Browser-side validator
Check schema and instance together.
Use the example to see valid data, then introduce a type or required-field error. The tool accepts JSON only and keeps both inputs in this tab.
Load an example or paste a JSON Schema and JSON instance.
No validation run yet.
Scope and workflow
Validate, then test the payload.
Use the validator for fast local feedback, then move the JSON into the rest of your QA workflow.
Check OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1 documents, paths, responses, and references.
API Integration TestingSend a CORS-enabled REST request, assert the response, and copy a report.
Test Data GeneratorGenerate fictional JSON, CSV, or SQL fixtures for API payloads and QA cases.
CSV to JSON ConverterConvert local CSV files into JSON before checking them against a schema.
API Contract TestingCompare schema versions for removed fields, type changes, and new required fields.
Test Plan TemplateDocument schema scope, test data, environments, risks, and exit criteria.
Supported JSON Schema keywords
This lightweight validator recognizes Draft-07 and 2020-12 identifiers and checks common type, properties, required, additionalProperties, items, enum, const, minimum, maximum, minLength, maxLength, pattern, minItems, maxItems, uniqueItems, allOf, anyOf, oneOf, not, and local $ref. It intentionally does not claim full dialect, format, dynamic reference, annotation, or vocabulary coverage.
JSON Schema validator FAQ
What is JSON Schema validation?
It checks whether a JSON instance matches rules defined by a JSON Schema, such as required fields, types, allowed values, and array or string constraints.
Why are schema errors separate from instance errors?
A malformed or unsupported schema cannot reliably validate data. The report labels schema problems separately so you know whether to fix the rules or the JSON payload.
Are line numbers exact?
For JSON, the tool reports the nearest key or path line in the pasted text. Use the path as the precise locator, especially when the same property name appears more than once.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The page does not call a validation API. Keep the tab private and follow your organization’s policy for sensitive payloads.
