Check JSON configuration before sharing
Configuration files can look harmless while carrying credentials or environment-specific addresses. Validate structure and review exposure separately.
Checklist
- Validate first; a valid file is easier to review.
- Compare required keys and value types with the documented schema.
- Remove secrets and private endpoints; share a redacted copy, not the production file.
Example and limit
A formatter confirms JSON syntax, not whether a URL, permission, or secret is appropriate.
