Common JSON Mistakes and Fixes

Most JSON errors fall into a few categories. Know them and fix them fast.

  • Trailing comma: Remove the last comma before } or ]
  • Single quotes: Replace with double quotes
  • Unquoted keys: Wrap all keys in double quotes
  • undefined/NaN: Use null or omit the property
  • Comments: JSON doesn't support them—remove or use a separate config
