WebSocket Payload Inspector

Inspects pasted WebSocket payload text: when it is JSON, shows top-level keys, byte length, and parsed value; otherwise shows text and byte length. It does not validate JSON-RPC 2.0.

About this websocket payload inspector

Inspects pasted WebSocket payload text: when it is JSON, shows top-level keys, byte length, and parsed value; otherwise shows text and byte length. It does not validate JSON-RPC 2.0 Validates and converts interface schemas client-side without transmitting private endpoint specifications.

API contract & interface schema logic

Inspects, analyzes, and converts HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocol messages, cURL command strings, and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) preflight handshakes in accordance with RFC 7230, RFC 7231, RFC 7540, and RFC 9110. Parses cURL command arguments (-H, -X, -d, -F, --cookie) into native API client code across Fetch, Axios, Python Requests, Go net/http, and Node.js. Evaluates HTTP response headers (Cache-Control, Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security) for security and caching compliance.

Worked schema conversion scenario

Scenario: Summarize pasted JSON-like payload text without parsing a WebSocket frame or validating JSON-RPC.

Sample input:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "chat.send", "params": {"room": "general", "text": "Hello"}, "id": 1}

Processing: Try JSON.parse, list top-level keys and count submitted UTF-8 bytes; no network or schema validation.

Illustrative output:

{ "format": "json", "keys": [ "jsonrpc", "method", "params", "id" ], "bytes": 98, "value": { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "chat.send", "params": { "room": "general", "text": "Hello" }, "id": 1 } }

Schema version & syntax constraints

This inspects pasted payload text only. It does not decode WebSocket frames, connect to a socket or validate JSON-RPC 2.0.

API specifications and schema models in WebSocket Payload Inspector reflect OpenAPI and JSON Schema standards. Verify generated schemas against your runtime validator.

Client-side schema processing boundary

Schema analysis and protocol mapping in WebSocket Payload Inspector execute locally in the browser tab without uploading endpoint definitions.

How to use it

  1. Paste a WebSocket payload as text.
  2. Attempt JSON parsing; if it succeeds, report top-level keys, UTF-8 byte count and value, otherwise report text and byte count.
  3. Read the JSON inspection summary.

Frequently asked questions

What does WebSocket Payload Inspector return?+

It trims the payload, first attempts JSON.parse, and returns format json, top-level object keys, UTF-8 byte length and parsed value. When parsing fails it returns format text, byte length and the original trimmed text.

Can you show an input and its result?+

The JSON payload {"ok":true,"name":"Ada"} returned format json, keys ok and name, byte length 24 and the same parsed object. The byte count is for UTF-8 encoded submitted text.

What are the JSON and payload boundaries?+

Only top-level object keys are listed; arrays, scalars and null have no object keys. It does not decode binary frames, compression, CBOR, protocol buffers, fragmented frames, close codes, masking or nested schema validity.

Does inspection observe a WebSocket connection?+

No. It examines a typed payload only. It does not connect, send, receive, authenticate, preserve frame bytes, prove a server protocol, or reveal production traffic.
