Validate, analyze, and continue

Work efficiently with large JSON data

When a file is too large for an ordinary editor, use streaming validation and focused navigation to find problems without loading the complete document into memory.

Validate in streaming mode

Check JSON syntax or validate against a JSON Schema while processing the input as a stream.

Explore batch validation

Analyze the data structure

Generate a JSON Schema from large input to inspect the properties, types, and structures present in the data.

Explore schema analysis

Locate and correct findings

Use line information and JSON Pointer paths from the validation report to open the relevant value in the large-file editor.

A typical workflow

Move from a large input to a valid result

  1. Pretty-print minified input when you need a separate, readable working copy.
  2. Run a streaming syntax or JSON Schema validation check.
  3. Use the diagnostic report to find an error by JSON Pointer or line number.
  4. Correct the relevant content and repeat the validation.
  5. Move recurring checks into command-line or batch processing.

Desktop and automation

Choose the right tool for each stage

Use the Windows application to view large files, inspect diagnostics, design schemas, and make targeted edits. Use the command-line tool for server, batch, and automated validation tasks.

  • Check well-formedness, pretty-print JSON, or remove whitespace.
  • Validate large JSON against JSON Schema with detailed error locations.
  • Analyze large data and generate a JSON Schema.
  • Convert between JSON, XML, and CSV.
