The unchanged sample passes parsing. Removing a required closing parenthesis produces a syntax error instead of a successful result.

A WORKED TASK
Find a parsing error before running JavaScript
The sample defines greet and calls it with Amina. Check it, then remove the closing parenthesis from the function call and check again. Restore the missing character before moving to the playground. This two-step workflow separates grammar problems from runtime behavior.
The checker parses without executing the source. It does not type-check TypeScript, resolve packages, validate browser support or prove that a program will return the right answer.
What to check
- Inspect unmatched quotes, parentheses and braces before changing the algorithm.
- A source file can parse successfully while still referring to an undefined variable.
- This checker treats input as a script/function body. Module-only import or export statements need a module-aware project environment.

- HTML Online Viewer project

- Processing
- Ordinary processing happens in this browser tab; the tool does not intentionally upload your source.
- Important limitation
- JavaScript checks and transformations cannot prove that application logic is correct. Test the result in its real project before publishing.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Start with a small JS Syntax Checker example
The built-in sample makes the accepted input visible before you use your own project data.Example input
Loaded in the workspace
function greet(name) {
return 'Hello, ' + name + '!';
}
console.log(greet('Amina'));Run the sample first, then change one value at a time so each result remains easy to explain.
What this example demonstrates
Find JavaScript syntax errors and receive a focused message before running the code.
Keep the original file, review the generated result and test production code in its real application before publishing.
COMMON QUESTIONS
JS Syntax Checker FAQ
Is JS Syntax Checker free?
Yes. It is free to use and requires no account.
Does JS Syntax Checker upload my source?
No. Ordinary processing happens locally in the current browser. The JavaScript runner uses a short-lived isolated browser worker.
Can I import and export a file with JS Syntax Checker?
Yes. Import a relevant JavaScript, JSON or text file, then save the input or processed result.
