Edit JSON online with errors shown as you type

Edit
Live result

The result appears here as you type.

Type on the left and the formatted result reformats on the right on every pause. Break the syntax and the right pane switches to the exact line and column, so you find a stray comma while you are still looking at the line you typed it on. A live JSON editor and validator in one: the result reformats on every pause, and a stray comma is flagged on the line you typed it.

If it will not parse

These are the messages people usually arrive with: Unexpected token in JSON, Unexpected end of JSON input, SyntaxError: JSON.parse. Paste the input that produced one and the result pane names the problem and points at it.
