Here is your JSON file pasted straight into Netbeans, with some garbage added to show you error checking:

The Netbeans editor will already do the former on text in a .json file, but I think you are asking for the latter. It’s important to use the terminology correctly to avoid confusion. I think the term “validation” usually applies to the validation of content against a schema, but I’m not sure, so somebody please correct me if I’m using the terms incorrectly. Anyway, if you simply google on JSON schema validation, you will find lots of discussion of how to do it. I think you are asking whether any of these tools are built in to Netbeans, the way some the XML schema validation tools were (I think). I think the answer is “no”. My guess is that there may not be sufficient interest in JSON schema to merit this. Also worth noting, XML schema lets you say things like: X must be a string, containing only upper case characters or a dollar sign character, except on a Tuesday, when it can contain an underscore. OK, I made up that part about Tuesday, but my point is that XML schema allows one to be extremely prescriptive. Not sure the same is possible in JSON schema. Again, I may be wrong, so if so please correct me. (Validating input against JSON schema is on my To Do List for a project I’m working on.)

Do you have a reproducible file you can share?

Nowadays JSON almost completely replaced XML in that role. Is there a plugin or something to validate JSON or help to check it for errors? I do have pretty big JSON file which somewhere contain an error, but cannot find it easily. Netbeans marks the opening brace with an error flag, which tells me Token recognition at “ Going through it for ½ hour and can’t spot any errors.
