How this JavaScript checker works
The validator parses your code with Acorn, the same standards-compliant parser used by popular tools such as webpack and ESLint. It understands the latest ECMAScript syntax, including arrow functions, classes, async/await, optional chaining, private fields and top-level await in modules.
Your code is only parsed, never run, so it is safe to check any snippet.
Typical JavaScript syntax errors
- Missing closing bracket
}, parenthesis)or square bracket] - Unterminated string or template literal
- Using
import/exportwithout selecting “ES Module” - Reserved words used as variable names (e.g.
let class = 1) - Using
awaitoutside an async function in a regular script
Does it check for logic errors?
No — this is a syntax validator. Code can be syntactically valid and still contain bugs, so test it in your environment as well.
