When I needed to check JSON validation, I put the JSONToArray function
inside a "try" structure. The catch clause will trigger and tell you
there's an error. It isn't too much different than what the editor does but
It can give you a clue.

Bob,
Tnx for the info. However, isn’t it reasonable that the LC conversion
should respond with some indication that it can’t do the JSON to array
conversion, rather than throw a script error?

Livecode provides a text editor to, well, edit text. It does not understand
the syntax/grammar of languages (Livecode, HTML, Javascript, JSON, YML,
etc). What you need is an editor that “knows" JSON.
Your best bet is to copy the text into Sublime, Visual Studio Code or Atom
which do understand JSON’s syntax/grammar. There may be some configuration
to the tool you will need to do but you will get indications from these
editors when you have malformed JSON.

What I would like to do is get a dialog that the JSON wasn’t formed
correctly. Of course, since I’m using it for my personal development of my
app, I can know that it failed if I don’t get the answer dialog I put in
after it. but, it seems a kludge. Shouldn’t there be some kind of an error
result if the JSON is ill-formed?
