FAQ

Will auto-fix always succeed?

Not always. It only applies common heuristics; heavily broken nested JSON still needs manual edits at the reported position.

How is this different from JSON validation?

This tool focuses on breakpoint location and small repairs. Use JSON validation or formatting tools when you need structure overview or pretty printing.
