Where files go
All JSON validation happens client-side in your browser, and data is never sent to servers. The page says: “All JSON validation happens client-side in your browser. Your JSON data is never sent to our servers for processing.”

From the tool's own pages, checked 2026-11-08. Sources: Privacy. Prices and limits change; check the tool before you rely on them.

Read automatically by a program, not by a person. Each fact quotes the sentence it came from, and a fact is shown only if that sentence is on the page. Where a page did not say, it reads “Not stated.”

Get an email if JSONLint changes

We check its official pages every week. If they change, we tell you, so you can see if the price or limits moved. No other email, and one click stops it.
