Mismatched Field Manifest (intentionally corrupt JSON)
Intentionally corrupt. A field manifest that claims to describe acro-checkbox-matrix.pdf but names two fields the PDF does not have, omits one it does, contradicts one field's type and states a count that does not match its own array.

Testing contract
Expected to fail- Scenario
- Exercise Mismatched Field Manifest (intentionally corrupt JSON) in its form data workflow. Intentionally corrupt.
- Expected result
- Report the intended validation failure (field list disagrees with the PDF it names); never silently treat it as a conforming input. top-level keys are schemaVersion, generatedBy, note, boundTo, defects, fieldCount, fields; array lengths: defects=4, fields=9; selected values: {"schemaVersion": 1, "fieldCount": 9}. Declared feature checks: corrupt=True; boundTo=acro-checkbox-matrix.pdf; declaredCount=9; actualCount=9; defect=field list disagrees with the PDF it names.
What is a .json file?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data-interchange format representing objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null. It is language-independent, human-readable, and the dominant format for web APIs and configuration. It requires a single well-formed root value.
How to use this file
Use an example JSON file to test parsers and serializers, schema validation, Unicode and number-precision handling, and API request or response processing.
How to use this file for testing
“Mismatched Field Manifest (intentionally corrupt JSON)” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Form parsing, Form testing, JSON parsing. PDF AcroForms with documented fields and live HTML forms for testing form parsers and fillers.
Documented properties for this file: JSON · 1,126 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
This form is fictional SAMPLE content for tooling tests (autofill, scrapers, PDF fillers). It is not an official government, bank, or clinic form. Open the HTML offline or fill the PDF in any viewer; the demo submit path never stores data.
