Do I need a Chrome extension to validate JSON?

No. FixTools is a website that works in any Chrome tab. No extension installation is needed.

Why use a website instead of a Chrome JSON extension?

Extensions require permissions and run persistently. A website like FixTools is zero-install: you use it when you need it and close the tab when done. No ongoing permissions or update maintenance.

Can I validate JSON in Chrome DevTools?

Chrome DevTools can parse and display JSON in the Network tab. For explicit validation with error details, paste the JSON into FixTools for a clearer diagnosis.
