Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between linting and validating JSON?
Validation tests whether a document is parseable, while linting performs deeper static analysis for quality and subtle issues.
Are duplicate keys flagged as warnings or errors?
Duplicate keys are flagged as high-priority warnings because they cause undefined behavior across different backend parsers.
Can the linter fix errors automatically?
Yes, common issues like trailing commas or unquoted keys can be repaired with a single click.
