On: JSONLint, The JSON Validator

[atuladhar]

Also worth mentioning is the pure JavaScript implementation at http://zaach.github.com/jsonlint/ for people worried about sending data to the jsonlint.com server.

A casual inspection of Firebug shows that the only way JSONLint communicates with outside world when you click Validate is to report usage to Google Analytics. It certainly doesn't appear to be sending the actual JSON anywhere.

This is correct, I'm the creator of jsonlint. It actually uses zaach's implementation of jsonlint in JS, now.

Fun fact: jsonlint uses an html5 cache manifest, and can be used even while offline.

Thanks; that's good to know. Thank you also for jsonlint.com; great tool.

Google Analytics is just as irritating.
