Invalid JSON File
Check whether a JSON file contains invalid syntax, incomplete structure, unreadable text, or a file-format mismatch before changing the original.
ARADURU checks file-side evidence in your browser first, then separates file problems from app or website problems.

A JSON file can be rejected for different reasons
ARADURU checks the file itself first. Invalid JSON syntax is one possible cause, but the selected file can also contain another format or pass file-side checks while still failing an application schema or API rule.
The JSON syntax is incomplete
Missing braces, commas, quotes, array boundaries, or other syntax errors can stop a complete JSON parse.
The filename may not describe JSON
A file named .json can contain another recognized format or text that is not a valid JSON document.
Valid JSON can still be rejected
A structurally valid JSON document can still fail a schema, required-field, type, API, or business-rule requirement.
How ARADURU checks this data problem
Decode the selected JSON target as UTF-8 text.
Parse the complete document rather than checking only the first characters.
Report root type, top-level key or item count, and parsed nesting depth when valid.
Separate concrete JSON syntax failure from a healthy file-side result.
How to interpret the match level
ARADURU found concrete structured-data evidence that can directly explain or strongly contribute to the selected problem.
ARADURU found relevant file-side evidence, but schema, importer, API, application, or business-rule conditions can also matter.
The current parser did not reveal an obvious match for this problem. Continue with schema, importer, application, or destination-specific troubleshooting.
What this check cannot prove
ARADURU validates JSON syntax and file-side structure. It does not automatically validate JSON Schema, API contracts, required properties, business rules, or application-specific semantics.
Common questions about this data problem
Can ARADURU tell me where the JSON syntax is broken?
The browser parser can sometimes expose an approximate parse position, but error wording varies by browser. ARADURU uses the complete parse result as the reliable file-side signal.
Does valid JSON mean an API will accept the file?
No. Valid JSON syntax does not prove that the document matches an API schema, required fields, data types, authentication rules, or business requirements.
Should I edit the original JSON file immediately?
Keep the original unchanged. Make syntax corrections, exports, or recovery attempts on a copy whenever the data matters.
