How Do You Handle Errors When Working with Parsed JSON Data? or What’s the Best Way to Validate Parse

"Hey folks, how do you handle errors when working with parsed json?

I keep running into issues where my parsed json data just... breaks? Like, sometimes it’s missing fields or has unexpected types.

Do you guys just wrap everything in try-catch blocks, or is there a smarter way?

Also, what’s your go-to for logging these errors without spamming the console?

Kinda new to this, so any tips would be awesome!

(Also, why does parsed json love returning null so much?? 😅)"

"What’s the best way to validate parsed json before using it in your code?

I’ve been burned too many times by assuming the parsed json structure is correct, only to get undefined errors later.

Do you use schema validators like AJV, or just manual checks?

Or maybe there’s a lightweight lib you swear by?

Would love to hear how y’all deal with this!"
