grunt-jsonlint

Validate JSON files from grunt.

Requires grunt 0.4

Install

npm install grunt-jsonlint --save-dev

Configure

Add the following (multi-)task to your Gruntfile:

jsonlint: {
  sample: {
    src: [ 'some/valid.json' ]
  }
}

Add the following to load the task into your Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jsonlint');

An error will be thrown if the JSON file contains syntax errors.

Roadmap

The underlying jsonlint library has many features not yet exposed. Each of these would be valuable in grunt.
