Common JSON errors and how to fix them

Trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys and other JSON mistakes, with quick fixes.

Trailing commas

JSON does not allow a comma after the last item in an object or array. Remove the trailing comma to make it valid.

Single quotes

Strings and keys in JSON must use double quotes. Replace single quotes with double quotes.

Unquoted keys

Every object key must be a double-quoted string. Wrap bare keys in double quotes.
