Common errors & troubleshooting
Unexpected token / trailing comma

Fix: Remove the extra comma, or fix quotes, then run validation again.
Unclosed object or array
Cause: A `{`, `[`, or quote was opened without a matching closer.
Fix: Check brace balance and string quotes, then re-run.
Empty input
Cause: The editor is empty.
Fix: Paste JSON or use Load example before running JSON Escape Tool.
