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

Ah, the joys of parsed json! 😅 I feel your pain.

I usually start with a schema validator like AJV—it’s a lifesaver for catching mismatched types or missing fields early.

For logging, I prefer structured logging with something like Winston or Pino. They let you filter noise so you’re not drowning in console spam.

And yeah, nulls are the worst. I always add default values or fallbacks when accessing nested properties.
