Find line with error in php json_decode

Question

I have a large JSON file returned from a web service. I am using json_last_error() to get the error code, but would like to know which string is giving the error so that I can design a regex for it. How would I return the string giving the error?

Php doesn't have a function to validate json and find the error :(. Fortuanly there is a website (https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/) that can do that.

Ps: make sure that you have checkt the validate checkbox :)

I know I'm late, but I was researching about this and my solution was this library: https://github.com/Seldaek/jsonlint

With this library you can check the syntax of a JSON string and it gives you more detail than json_last_error() method do.
