    View and Validate JSON Lines Records

    JSON Lines (JSONL) stores each record as its own single line of JSON — a format commonly used for machine-learning datasets, application logs and streaming data. Large JSONL files are hard to scan in a plain text editor. This viewer parses every line and shows one pretty-printed, syntax-highlighted record at a time.

    One Record at a Time

    Navigate your file with the Prev and Next buttons, or jump straight to any line number. Each record is shown fully formatted, so it is far easier to read than the raw, single-line representation.

    Instant Validation

    Every non-empty line is parsed as it loads. The summary bar shows the total number of lines along with valid and invalid counts, and any bad lines are listed with their line number and the exact error message.

    Syntax-Highlighted Output

    Keys, strings, numbers, booleans and null values are each color-coded, which makes individual fields easy to pick out inside a large record.

    Private and Offline-Ready

    Everything runs client-side in your browser's own JavaScript engine. Your JSONL data is never uploaded, so the tool is safe for sensitive datasets.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is my JSONL data uploaded to a server?

    No. The viewer runs entirely in your browser. Your JSONL data never leaves your device.

    What is the JSON Lines (JSONL) format?

    JSONL stores one JSON object per line, with no surrounding array or commas between records. It is a common format for datasets, logs and streaming data.

    What happens with invalid lines?

    Invalid lines are reported with their line number and the parsing error. Valid records remain viewable one at a time, so one bad line does not block the whole file.

    Is the tool free to use?

    Yes. The JSONL viewer is free and requires no registration or installation.
