Tips and common mistakes

Most JSON errors are small

Common problems are a trailing comma after the last item, single quotes instead of double quotes, and keys that are not wrapped in double quotes. JSON is stricter than JavaScript, so fix these first if validation fails.

Format for reading, minify for sending

Indented JSON is easier to read and review. A minified copy with no extra spaces is smaller to send or store.
