Repair Incomplete or Truncated JSON

Automatically close missing brackets and braces. Ideal for fixing AI-generated JSON that was cut off mid-response.

Problem Example

This invalid JSON will cause parsing errors

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "items": [1, 2, 3

Why This Happens

Truncated JSON usually occurs when an API response is cut short or an AI model reaches its token limit. Our tool uses a fault-tolerant parser to gracefully close all open structures.

Common Causes

This JSON error typically occurs when:

  • Copying data from different programming languages
  • Manual data entry without proper validation
  • Using AI tools that generate non-standard JSON
  • Exporting from applications with loose formatting

About JSON Standard

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a strict data interchange format. Unlike JavaScript objects, JSON requires:

  • All keys must be enclosed in double quotes
  • String values must use double quotes (not single quotes)
  • No trailing commas after the last item
  • No comments allowed
  • Proper escaping of special characters
